Abstract
An image processing apparatus disclosed in the present application includes a destination designation receiving unit that receives a designation of a destination to which image data is transmitted; a security information acquiring unit that acquires security information of the destination; and an image data transmitting unit that transmits the image data to the destination, using the security information acquired by the security information acquiring unit.
Claims17
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a destination designation receiving unit that receives a designation of a destination user to which image data is transmitted;
- a security information acquiring unit that acquires a security setting corresponding to the designated destination user, the security setting including a password setting method corresponding to the designated destination user;
- an image data encrypting unit that encrypts image data with a password corresponding to the password setting method;
- and
- an image data transmitting unit that transmits the encrypted image data to the destination user.
A non-transitory recording medium having a computer executable program stored therein, the program having a computer execute the processes including:
- a destination designation receiving process in which a designation of a destination user to which image data is transmitted is received;
- a security information acquiring process in which a security setting corresponding to the designated destination user is acquired, the security setting including a password setting method corresponding to the designated destination user;
- an image data encrypting process in which image data is encrypted with a password corresponding to the password setting method;
- and
- an image data transmitting process in which the encrypted image data is transmitted to the destination user.
An image data transmitting method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a designation of a destination user to which image data is transmitted;
- acquiring a security setting corresponding to the designated destination user, the security setting including a password setting method corresponding to the designated destination user;
- encrypting image data with a password corresponding to the password setting method;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted image data to the destination user.
