Abstract:
1. A method for managing a job request at a document processing system that has been issued a private key and a public key, comprising: receiving the job request including a first part specifying job information that is encrypted using a symmetric key, and a second part specifying a first encrypted symmetric key that is encrypted with a public key of a recipient that has been issued a private key and the public key; transmitting at least the first encrypted symmetric key to at least one of the recipient and a server offering cryptographic services to decrypt the first encrypted symmetric key; receiving a second encrypted symmetric key that is decrypted from the first encrypted symmetric key using the private key of the recipient and encrypted using the public key of the document processing system; using the private key of the document processing system to decrypt the second encrypted symmetric key that is encrypted with the public key of the document processing system; using the symmetric key decrypted from the second encrypted symmetric key to decrypt the first part of the job request; and initiating performance of the decrypted job request.
