  5. Adobe LiveCycle Software • What is an Intelligent Document? • Is a dynamic document looks like a paper document and is easy to use. • In kind of: form, report, diagram, or any other business document. • Intelligent Documents can also capture data from filled forms and move that data to people and applications based on defined business rules.

  6. Adobe LiveCycle Software • What is universal client? • Is an interface between people and electronic documents that is available to everyone. • Example: Adobe Reader software and Web browsers. • What are Adobe Document Services? • Are the underlying technologies that create and integrate Intelligent Documents with enterprise applications and business processes.

  7. Adobe LiveCycle Software • What is the Adobe LiveCycle? • Is the family name of a powerful set of server-based software modules that deliver the latest generation of Adobe Document Services. • This is done by integrating Intelligent Documents with an enterpreise’s business process.

  8. Adobe LiveCycle Software • Which Adobe LiveCycle products are currently available? • Adobe LiveCycle Designer lets form designers quickly create and maintain form templates and make a form intelligent. • Adobe LiveCycle Forms helps extend business processes beyond enterprise boundaries by deploying dynamic electronic forms over the Web more securely and automatically capturing data to core business systems. • Adobe LiveCycle Document Security delivers digital signature and encryption capabilities in a server environment.

  9. Adobe LiveCycle Software • Which Adobe LiveCycle products are currently available? • Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions activates functions hidden within the free, ubiquitous Adobe Reader to save Adobe PDF, allow the completion of intelligent forms offline, activate commenting and reviewing tools in Adobe PDF files, and use digital signatures to sign Adobe PDF forms. • Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server makes it possible to manage and monitor electronic documents by applying persistent confidentiality, privacy, and accountability policies to electronic documents—online or offline, inside or outside the firewall—throughout the document lifecycle.

  10. Adobe LiveCycle Document SecurityOverviews • Many business processes are not fully automated because of security concerns. • Paper based-form and physical modes of delivery are expensive and time consuming. • Automated process using secure communication protocol still put the organization at risk.

  11. Adobe LiveCycle Document SecurityHow it works • Requires a PDF document (generated from Adobe LiveCycle Forms, Adobe Document Server) • Then Adobe LiveCycle Document Security apply digital signatures and encryption to the file automatically.

  12. Adobe LifeCycle Document SecurityBe used for • Document signing • Document recipients can validate the authenticity and integrity of content signed by the server using digital certificates from leading vendors. • Digital signature validation • Adobe LiveCycle Document Security receives a PDF document from a user who has signed that document and validates the signature status. • Encryption and decryption documents • Documents that are automatically generated can be encrypted for distribution, and encrypted documents that have been submitted can be automatically decrypted, providing additional assurance that the contents of the document are not accessed by unauthorized parties.

  13. Adobe LiveCycle Document SecurityKey features • Bring critical processes online, while protecting sensitive information • Meet regulatory requirements for paperwork elimination • Leverage existing IT investments

  16. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesIntroduction • Main reason why organization need to address the security of electronically shared documents: • Regulatory requirements • Return on investment (ROI) • Information security

  17. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesIntroduction • Regulatory requirements • Many companies are directly or indirectly affected by government mandates and regulations for providing consumer privacy. • Examples: • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)—Protection for health-related data • European Union Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications • Privacy Acts of Japan and Australia • California AB 1950—Protection of customer data

  18. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesIntroduction • Return on investment (ROI) • Significant ROI can be achieved by migrating to electronic business processes • Automated workflows allow prospects, customers, partners, and suppliers to participate, enabling organizations to reap significant cost savings while improving customer satisfaction and loyalty. • However, many workflows cannot be automated until adequate protections are put in place on the electronically shared information.

  19. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesIntroduction • Information security • Thefts of proprietary information are increasing, which can jeopardize revenue, competitive advantage, and customer relationships; generate negative publicity; and result in significant penalties and fines for failure to comply with privacy laws.

  20. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesHow to provide document security • The following criteria define persistent document security: • Confidentiality—Who should have access to the document? • Authorization—What permissions does the user have for working with the document? • Accountability—What has the recipient done with the document? • Integrity—How do you know if the document has been altered? • Authenticity—How do you know where the document came from? • Non-repudiation—Can the signatory deny signing the document?

  21. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesHow to provide document security

  22. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesHow to provide document security • The two major security techniques used to establish these six document security criteria are document control and digital signatures.

  23. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Confidentiality • Encryption is the process of transforming information (plaintext) into an incomprehensible form (ciphertext). Encryption is an effective technique for managing document access. • Decryption is the reverse process that transforms ciphertext back to the original plaintext. • Cryptography refers to the two processes of encryption and decryption and its implementation is referred to as a cryptosystem.

  24. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Confidentiality • Two main types of encryption keys: • symmetric • Symmetric key cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption and is very fast and difficult to break with large keys. • Today, common symmetric key encryption algorithms are AES, DES, 3DES, and RC4. • Adobe products leverage AES (128- and 256-bit) and RC4 (128-bit) asymmetric

  25. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Confidentiality • Two main types of encryption keys: • asymmetric • Asymmetric key cryptography, also called public key cryptography, uses key pairs for encryption and decryption. • An individual keeps the private key secret, while the public key is freely distributed to others who wish to communicate with the individual. • Some common asymmetric algorithms are RSA, DSA, and El Gamal. Adobe leverages RSA (512-, 1024-, and 2048-bit) as it has evolved into a global standard.

  26. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Confidentiality • Hybrid Encryption • One approach is to use asymmetric keys to protect the symmetric keys, and then use the symmetric keys for encrypting the information. This technique helps to solve both the key distribution challenge of symmetric key cryptography while solving the performance problem of asymmetric key cryptography.

  27. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Authorization • Authorization specifies what a user can do with document. • Authorization can be achieved via: • Permissions • Dynamic document control • Permission • Permissions govern a user’s actions while working with a protected document. • Permissions can specify whether or not a recipient who has access to the document is allowed to print or copy content, fill in fields, add comments or annotate the document, insert or remove pages, forward the document, access the document offline, digitally sign the document, and so forth.

  28. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Authorization • Dynamic document control • Dynamic document control maintains access rights and permissions assigned to an electronic document once it has been published and distributed. • A document’s author can make changes to a released document without having to manually redistribute it since the changes are automatically pushed to all existing versions of the document no matter where they reside.

  29. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Authorization • Dynamic document control includes the following capabilities: • Document expiration and revocation • Offline access management • Persistent version control

  30. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Authorization

  31. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDocument Control-Accountability • Document auditing allows organizations to maintain accountability with regard to the use of protected documents, because they can know precisely: • How a recipient has used a document • How often each type of usage occurred • When that usage occurred • Accountability is achieved when an author can track each recipient’s use of a document for each permission assigned (such as allowing a user to fill in fields on a form, print, forward, save a copy, and so forth.)

  32. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDigital signatures • When enterprises distribute documents electronically, it is often important that recipients can verify: • That the content has not been altered (integrity) • That the document is coming from the actual person who sent it (authenticity) • That an individual who has signed the document cannot deny the signature(non-repudiation)

  33. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDigital signatures-Integrity • Methods for maintaining integrity include: • Parity bits or cyclical redundancy checking (CRC) functions • One-way hash • A one-way hash creates a fixed-length value, called the hash value or message digest for a message of any length. A hash is like a unique fingerprint. • With a hash attached to the original message, a recipient can determine if the message was altered by recomputing the hash and comparing his or her answer to the attached hash. • Adobe has adopted the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms • Message Authentication Codes (MAC) • A MAC prevents an attacker from obtaining the original message, modifying it, and attaching a new hash.

  34. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDigital signatures-Integrity

  35. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDigital signatures-Authenticity • Digital signatures provide document authenticity by verifying a signer’s digital identity. • The process that constitutes a digital signature is as follows: • A hash is created of the original document. • The digital signature is created, which encrypts the hash with a private key. • The signature is included with the document.

  36. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDigital signatures-Authenticity

  37. Document Security Issue and TechnologiesDigital signatures-Non repudiation • Non-repudiation is a document security service that prevents the signor of the document from denying that they signed the document.

  42. Conclusion • A significantly more effective solution for protecting an electronic document is to assign security parameters that are an integral part of the document itself. • By applying security parameters to the individual document, organizations gain greater assurance in the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of electronically shared documents in addition to securing the communication line or storage location. • As organizations accelerate online processing, Adobe security solutions deliver document control and digital signature services that simplify the process of protecting sensitive electronic documents and forms. • Adobe document security provides persistent, end-to-end protection throughout an electronic document’s lifecycle, including desktop solutions that make it easy for every user in an organization to protect documents and server-based solutions that automate the application and monitoring of document protection on an enterprise-wide basis.
