RE: How can I prevent PC screen print - for encryption -- MIDRANGE-L

Who print screens to host printers now-a-days anyway?

I always just use the Client Access Print Screen functionality.

Doesn't some manipulation of the DDS keyword PRINT help stop
you from at least printing it on your host printers?

Re: How can I prevent PC screen print - for encryption

I'll look into that Prevent Copy function here (we're on
Notes, too). I
don't want to get into the weird fonts, these are the people
that have to
maintain this information....

I'm just going to create a separate program to handle the
Add/Change/Delete of the sensitive data and move the current
data into a
new file where this data will be encrypted. All user access will be
logged, and I'll probably put headers/footers on reports that
this data is

confidential. This will be least intrusive to the existing
programs. It
will just be an additional function key to move from the
current account
maintenance program to the program to handle the sensitive data.

I can't do anything to prevent copying via external means
(phots, manual
copying), but I'd like to lock down the direct copy within the PC.
Currently we're using Client Access for our terminal
emulation, I guess
some other terminal emulation programs might not honor some
Client Access
protection function anyway.

Re: How can I prevent PC screen print - for encryption

As others have pointed out, you can reduce this, but not eliminate it.

On a 5250 screen you can disable the Host Screen Print. We did this
decades ago to stop people from printing stuff that we wanted
them to work

with current, online data.

Here's something else. In Domino I can flag an email as "Prevent
Copying". I had someone outside of Dekko, who also uses
Notes, send me an

email this way through the internet. I couldn't forward the email or
nothing. Heck I could not even PrtSc and paste it into Word
or anything
else. I don't know how Domino does that but it might be
worth pursuing.
If you want I could try sending you one directly with that
flag on if you
wanted to try something outside of Notes.

Another item. If your goal is to also reduce the possibility
of screen
emulator automated products from getting this data off of a
screen at a
time you can try the trick of using pixels instead of data.
You know,
like those web sites that put some code on the screen in wavy
format of
various sizes that you have to rekey in.

How can I prevent PC screen print - for encryption

I'm working on changes to our programs that will encrypt
sensitive data.
The programs will restrict and log who views/changes this
data. How can I

prevent users with authority to view the data from using the
PC screen
print or Cut and Paste functions to copy this sensitive data
from their
display?

Thanks,

Steve
