Abstract:
1. A scanned image disclosure apparatus comprising: a disclosure unit that encrypts and discloses to a disclosure destination a scanned image by using a public key or a private key relating to a public key certificate that has been verified to be valid; a re-verification unit that judges whether or not re-verification of the validity of the public key certificate is necessary during execution for the disclosure unit and performs re-verification when it is judged to be necessary; and a termination unit that terminates the execution for the disclosure unit when the public key certificate was judged to be invalid by the re-verification unit; said disclosure unit performing an execution on the basis of a job that commands the disclosure of the scanned image; said re-verification unit judging that re-verification is necessary when the job is a job which had verification of the validity of the public key certificate previously judged and is to be re-transmitted due to an interruption in the execution of the job such that the job is incomplete.
