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

[smorrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

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.

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.
