Document registration
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- maintaining a plurality of stored signatures in a data storage device, each signature being associated with one of a plurality of registered documents;
intercepting packets being transmitted over a network between a source and a destination;
reassembling the packets into an intercepted complete flow, wherein the intercepted complete flow represents an ordered data stream of a communication between the source and the destination;
extracting a reassembled object from the intercepted complete flow, wherein the reassembled object represents a content type;
calculating a set of signatures associated with the reassembled object;
determining the reassembled object contains content associated with a registered document when at least one match is found between the set of signatures and the plurality of stored signatures; and
identifying the registered document.

Abstract
A document accessible over a network can be registered. A registered document, and the content contained therein, cannot be transmitted undetected over and off of the network. In one embodiment, the invention includes maintaining a plurality of stored signatures, each signature being associated with one of a plurality of registered documents, intercepting an object being transmitted over a network, calculating a set of signatures associated with the intercepted object, and comparing the set of signatures with the plurality of stored signatures. In one embodiment, the invention can further include detecting registered content from the registered document being contained in the intercepted object, if the comparison results in a match of at least one of the signatures in the set of signatures with one or more of the plurality of stored signatures.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a network interface module to connect the apparatus to a network; and a processor operable to execute instructions for capturing and evaluating data transmissions over the network, including; intercepting packets being transmitted over the network between a source and a destination; reassembling the packets into an intercepted complete flow, wherein the intercepted complete flow represents an ordered data stream of a communication between the source and the destination; extracting a reassembled object from the intercepted complete flow, wherein the reassembled object represents a content type; calculating a set of signatures associated with the reassembled object; and determining the reassembled object contains content associated with a registered document when at least one match is found between the set of signatures and the plurality of stored signatures; and identifying the registered document. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media that store instructions for execution and when executed by a processor are operable to perform operations comprising:
-
maintaining a plurality of stored signatures in a data storage device, each signature being associated with one of a plurality of registered documents; intercepting packets being transmitted over a network between a source and a destination; reassembling the packets into an intercepted complete flow, wherein the intercepted complete flow represents an ordered data stream of a communication between the source and the destination; extracting a reassembled object from the intercepted complete flow, wherein the reassembled object represents a content type; calculating a set of signatures associated with the reassembled object; and determining the reassembled object contains content associated with a registered document when at least one match is found between the set of signatures and the plurality of stored signatures; and identifying the registered document. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
