<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent information leakage through an image log in an image processing apparatus having an image logging function. <P>SOLUTION: A usage selecting authority of encryption processing is given to a predetermined user in advance (S100). Encryption processing is not permitted for a user having no usage selecting authority of encryption processing (S126). If receiving a job request from a user for whom the usage selecting authority of encryption processing is set, it is inquired whether encryption is executed (S122). When the encryption processing is requested, setting is performed so that the encryption processing can be executed (YES in S122, S124), however, the encryption processing is not permitted without a desire (NO in S122, S126). Setting for encryption in output processing of important documents can prevent even a manager from decoding the image log, and viewing of the important documents through the image log can be restricted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
