Abstract

See full text

A method for automatically applying digital rights management (DRM) to outgoing emails based on a color category of the email set by the sending user. A plugin module on the user's computer interacts with the email application to extract the color category setting for the email and converts it to a category ID recognized by the digital rights management (RMS) server. The RMS server determines the DRM policy corresponding to the category ID using an association table, and applies that DRM policy to protect the email before sending the email to an exchange server. When a recipient receives the email, the application program on the recipient's computer cooperates with the RMS server to determine whether the recipient is allowed to access the email based on the DRM policy that has been applied to the email.
