International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

713165, 726 1, 707694

Abstract:

A method provides data loss protection of sensitive data using digital fingerprinting. The method includes assigning a security level to each document of a plurality of documents associated with a data loss protection server, and storing the plurality of documents in a digital asset management server, wherein only a single copy of each document of plurality of documents is stored in the digital asset management server. The method also includes sending a query to the digital asset management server from the data loss protection server, and receiving a query response by the data loss protection server from the digital asset management server, the query response including at least one document file. The method further includes creating a digital fingerprint of the at least one document file by the data loss protection server.
