(priority) This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 720,873, entitled PROCESSING ENCRYPTED E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS, filed on September 27, 2005. The entire disclosure content is expressly included in the present application by reference here. (Field of invention) The present invention generally relates to the analysis and processing of information associated with electronic communication. More specifically, the present invention relates to encrypted or password protected e-mail communications and the processing of their accompanying attachments.
Financial services companies, along with many other companies in the regulated industry, are subject to laws or regulations that require email archiving, supervisory reviews, and searches. Also, due to the confidentiality of the content, business processes that require the use of encrypted documents are well established.
There have been various techniques that allow parties to exchange e-mail in an encrypted form. These technologies include public key cryptography (PKI) and Secure / Multipurpose Internet Mail (S / MIME), in which parties must exchange keys or install certificates. Extensions), a "gateway" transport layer security (TLS) solution that typically requires email system operators to make significant modifications to their email system, as well as usually recipients. Includes a proprietary email application plug-in or web-based interface that requires you to install new software to open documents and emails, or visit a website to download attachments. .. Alternatively, the parties to the encrypted e-mail communication may also use the native password / cryptographic features available at the time the document was created. These features may also be seen, for example, as tools within word processing programs, spreadsheet programs, and charting / presentation programs.
However, the use of encryption or password protection often poses the challenge of complying with applicable laws or regulations that govern the processing of email communications. A compliance officer who must view the archive, or a supervisor who must review the email, may request the user to provide a password or decrypted document. However, when such an officer or administrator needs a document, the user may no longer be hired by the company, may have forgotten the password, or may not be encrypted. Sometimes you don't want to be involved in the task of searching and reviewing documents. In addition, companies may want to carefully monitor or investigate a user's email communications, and asking the user for a password can jeopardize the prudence of such activities. Also, it is usually not possible to search the entire archive for encrypted text. This is because search tools are usually unable to scrutinize the content of such documents.
<p> In view of the above problems and drawbacks, there is a need for a method that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of encrypted e-mail communication and processing and storage of their attachments.</p>
<p> In various embodiments, the present invention includes methods of archiving electronic messages in various embodiments. This method involves scrutinizing the electronic message to determine if at least a portion of the electronic message is protected, and if the email message is protected, releasing the protected portion. It includes a step of storing at least a copy of the free portion of the e-mail message and a step of sending the e-mail to the recipient. Once stored, the release message can be accessed and reviewed, for example, by the supervisor, without the need to require a password from the sender or recipient. Protected messages include, or parts of, password-protected, encrypted, and / or otherwise structured messages that prohibit unauthorized access. To release such protected messages, for example, use a password to unlock the password-protected document and / or decrypt the encrypted document using cryptographic software. , Any method, process, and / or device suitable for enabling information processing of protective messages.</p><p> Also, in various embodiments, the present invention scrutinizes an electronic message to determine if at least a portion of the electronic message is protected, the electronic message has a source and a destination, and the email. If the message is protected, a computer-readable medium that releases the protected portion, stores at least a copy of the released portion of the e-mail message, and contains computer-executable instructions for sending the e-mail to the recipient. including.</p><p> The present invention also includes, in various embodiments, a computer-assisted system for archiving electronic messages, scrutinizing the electronic messages to determine if at least a portion of the electronic messages is protected. If the message has a sender and a recipient and the email message is protected, then at least the encryption management module and the email message that releases the protection and sends the email message to the recipient. It has an electronic archive that stores a copy of the free portion.</p><p> Also, in various embodiments, the present invention scrutinizes an electronic message to determine if at least a portion of the electronic message is protected, the electronic message has a source and a destination, and the email. If the message is protected, it includes a microprocessor that releases the protected portion, stores at least a copy of the released portion of the e-mail message, and contains computer-executable instructions for sending the electronic message to the recipient. ..</p>
The usefulness of the embodiments of the present invention can be easily confirmed and understood by examining the following description of the embodiments of the present invention and visually recognizing them in association with the accompanying drawings.
Corresponding reference characters shall indicate corresponding parts throughout the various figures. The illustrations specified herein illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention in various forms, and such illustrations shall never be interpreted in a way that limits the scope of the invention.
In embodiments of the present invention, the user may archive an encrypted attachment while preserving a copy of the email with the attachment in unencrypted form for review for supervision and / or for archiving purposes. You can send or receive the attached e-mail. As discussed below, attachments can be sent in their original form (eg, as a word processor document, spreadsheet, or presentation), without the need for significant changes to the recipient's behavior, and to receive email. There is no need to install new software earlier. For example, recipients can continue to open password-protected documents in standard word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation programs and enter passwords using these programs to learn new systems. There is no need to launch different programs, visit web-based services, etc.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the encryption management module 102 can be operationally linked to and / or placed within the e-mail application 104. The email application 104 can be used by one or more users in the company 106. The email application 104 is, for example, "Microsoft. It can be a traditional email system, such as the Outlook "email program. In step 202, the user attempts to send an email using the email application 104. At step 204, module 102 can scrutinize the email for attachments. In step 206, if the attachment is found in an email in a known document format (eg, a known word processor program (Word), a known spreadsheet program (Excel), or a known presentation program. ("PowerPoint") etc.), in step 208, you can check the attachments you find to see if they are encrypted native documents or password protected native documents. Password protection for native documents means the use of password functionality that is part of the same application that created the document (eg, a word processing application, a spreadsheet application, or a presentation application).
If it is determined in step 206 that the document format of the attached drawing in the email is unrecognizable, module 102 may be configured to allow the email to be sent without checking the encryption in step 208. it can. If, in step 206, it is determined that only some of the package inserts are in a known document format, that is, not all of the package inserts are in a known document format, then in step 208 these package inserts were checked and encrypted. You can find out if it is a native document or a password-protected native document. This will be discussed in more detail below. In at least one embodiment, module 102 may attach an identifier to the e-mail when sending an e-mail with an attachment whose document format is unrecognizable. In this embodiment, for example, the supervisor of company 106 or other employee may review the email thus identified and determine if further investigation is necessary.
If it is discovered in step 208 that the package insert uses encryption or that opening the document is password protected, module 102 is configured to prompt the user for the document password in step 210. can do. The user can then provide the password on demand in step 212. Module 102 can then use the user-supplied password in step 216 (if determined to be correct in step 214) to generate a decrypted, i.e., ununcumbered version of the document. If it is determined in step 214 that the user has supplied an incorrect password, the module 102 is configured to detect this condition in step 210 and prompt the user one or more extra times until the correct password is supplied. Can be done. If the password is correct, in step 218, send an email with the attachment in its original password-protected format to the recipients listed on the email you communicate with in step 202. Module 102 can be configured to allow. In step 220, module 102 stores one or more extra copies of the decrypted email and accompanying attachments and stores it in company 106's email archiving / supervision system 108. Thus, when storing an extra copy of an email and an attachment, it can include a decrypted, i.e., released version of the email and its attachment.
In various embodiments, module 102 uses a unique correlation identifier to characterize the decrypted email or document for future reference in the email archiving / supervision system 108. That is, the encrypted version and the decrypted / released version) can be associated with each other. For example, you can generate codes that include alphabets and / or numbers. This code can be randomly generated and / or edited from information from electronic messages. For example, this code can be the date and time the message was identified, the computer address of the originator, the name of the cryptographic control module, and / or the globally unique identifier (GUID) generated by the electronic message software. It can be generated from identifier). In addition, the code can include, for example, characters that indicate whether the stored message is encrypted or unencrypted. In these embodiments, the codes in the protected and released versions of the electronic message can be identical, apart from this letter. In at least one embodiment, the code can be inserted into the header of the electronic message so that the archiving system can easily review the code.
In addition, referring to FIG. 3, the embodiment of module 102 can be applied to the email received by the user at company 106 through one or more external email communication channels 110 in step 302. At company 106, module 102 can prevent the act of opening an email when a user attempts to open, for example, a password-protected attachment of a native document. Similarly, in step 304, module 102 can scrutinize the email to see if there is a protective document and evaluate if the document is in a recognizable document format. In step 307, if the document is in an unrecognizable format, the document and / or the email containing the document can be stored, for example, for review by an administrator. In step 318, if the document is in a recognizable format and is not protected, module 102 may allow the user to open the release document and store a copy in archiving system 108. In step 310, if the document is protected, module 102 may prompt the user, for example, for the correct password. If the user does not provide the correct password in step 314, module 102 may remind the user of the correct password until it is supplied in step 312. In various embodiments, the sender and / or recipient of the email can be prompted for a password.
At step 316, a password can then be used to generate a released / decrypted copy of the document, which at step 318 can be sent to and stored in the email archive / supervision system 108. In addition, in step 320, a copy of the protective document, or an email with the protective document, can also be sent to and stored in the email archiving system 108. Also, embodiments of the present invention allow the sending of documents not only by email programs, but also by other forms of electronic messages, such as instant messaging or web-based conferences. It also enables the integration of other communication channels 110.
The inventor has found that traditional cryptosystems do not address this issue because the issue of password / encryption for native documents concerns the need for archiving and / or review of supervision. For example, in many word processing programs, a user can set a password on a document to prevent unauthorized users from opening the document. However, if the user chooses to use the password for the native document and does not apply the mechanisms of the invention, the e-mail archive / control system 108 will not be able to read or retrieve the document. Traditional email cryptosystems simply add their own ciphers to a document that is already password protected, allowing the user to send a password protected attachment of a native document with the email. Cannot be prevented.
Accordingly, in embodiments of the present invention, the user may send an e-mail with an encrypted document, with a view to the company's compliance with archiving, supervision, and discovery regulations or decree of e-mail communications. it can. Furthermore, in aspects of the invention, there is little or no need to modify the behavior at the recipient. Also, those skilled in the art can store e-mail communications and accompanying package inserts in an unencrypted, searchable format within an easily accessible e-mail archive / control system. Will be recognized.
