SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POLICY ENFORCEMENT IN STRUCTURED ELECTRONIC MESSAGES AND TOKEN STATE MONITORING

摘要

A validation service (18), for example a digital certificate validation service (CVS), is provided that facilitates the application of user-defined policies to structured electronic messages, e.g. E-mails, and the implementation of corresponding business rules based on user, system (12), device (12) or electronic message attributes. The service includes a method for policy enforcement in electronic messages that includes identifying one or more policies to be applied to an electronic message send from a first end entity to a second end entity and identifying at least one business rule to be applied to the electronic message.
