ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing an electronic document in a secure manner is provided. A client may verify that the configuration state of a document-processing device has not changed since a prior configuration state by issuing a request to a security server. The security server may process the request to determine whether the configuration state of the document-processing device has changed since the document-processing device was registered with the security server. The security server may also verify that a client issued a request to process an electronic document to a document-processing device or that the document-processing device received the request. A storage medium of a document-processing device may be protected against unauthorized removal of the storage medium by storing, separate from the storage medium, a password required to access the storage medium, and when the document-processing device is powered on, the password is provided to the storage medium.
