<p>In a distributed computing environment, a user is able to send a document to a secure printer 140 in such a way that only the intended recipient can print the document. When the user specifies that the document is to be printed securely, a special print job is created in which the document is encrypted under the recipient's public key. Then, when a print server 130 receives the print job, it is incapable of printing it, as it is encrypted, and the job is held. When the recipient's smart card 145 is inserted into a smart card reader of the secure printer 140, the recipient's identity from the smart card is used to search for and retrieve documents from the print server 130 for the recipient, and private key information on the smart card 145 is used to enable decryption and printing of the document by the printer. <IMAGE></p> |
