Abstract:
1. A terminal, comprising: a processor; a storage, accessible to the processor, configured to hold at least part of a file; a transmitter configured to transmit the file to a receiver; and an identity-based (ID-based) processing module, implemented by the processor, and configured to implement at least one pre-transmission file security measure with respect to the file using a component ID of one of the transmitter and the receiver to provide a processed file, wherein the processed file includes a dedicated file extension to indicate which type of the pre-transmission file security measure is applied to the file, and wherein the ID-based processing module uses a first extension to indicate that the pre-transmission file security measure is encrypting the file and uses a second extension to indicate that the pre-transmission file security measure is putting an electronic signature to the file.
