Abstract-Electronicdocuments inside any enterprise environment are assets that add to the enterprise's capital in intellectual property such as design patents or customer information, securing, these assets is a priority requirement in any security system design. The security of these documents suffers when they have migrated outside the organisation security system, as there is not always a way to extend the enterprise security policy to limit/prevent access to those assets. This paper presents the challenges faced when preventing document leakage. We propose active document as a measure to control/limit access when electronic document are outside its domain.

Abstract-The development of 3D printers has resulted in significant Intellectual Property Right issues. This work presents a model for signing printable 3D objects. The paper initially reviews the security principles of signing of objects in both digital or physical form, and the metrics for assessing signatures. 3D designs are not just a file, but actual physical objects and should be treated identically, to digital documents that have associated intellectual property rights and copyright protection. In this paper we propose a signing methodology intended to resolve issues with the adaptation of rapid prototyping and 3D printing by users both in engineering and the humanities. The proposed digital signing methodology is based on physical signing principles that follow archival principles to maintain accurate records. The new model allows the transition of provenance between digital and physical form.

Employment uses trusted records such as award certificates as a part of hiring procedures. Some countries practices for employment history reference; either a service certificate or systems based on pension records which are based on number of years of employment that are also can be used for pension eligibility. However, there is an increase on the number of issued award certificates which are, in most cases, do not follow an agreed standard, which increases challenges for an authenticated record sharing. Moreover, employment systems are not required to share employment history nor to accommodate record requests educational institutes. Additionally, public employment systems are by design isolated from interaction with private sector. The research suggest that distributed systems would reduce costs for verifying and authenticating records while being flexible on allocating trusted records such as employment history, awarded certificates and resumes.
