File security -- deny copy, print, save, edit, print screen, etc.

I have been asked to research ways to enforce security on documents. So far, I have 2 products I am looking at: Locklizard and Adobe Livecycle Rights Management.

I understand there's no way to prevent digital camera shots, but if you know of any software that will help us with this that would be great (opensource/linux solutions welcome as well).

I'm not too worried about filetype...all we need is a system with security in order to:
prevent download, saving, copying, printing, and screen capture.

impossible unless you have 101% control over the computer in question

ahh, stop, it's possible: don't give access to such files (but that's probably not what you want:)

Absolutely, I agree, and this project is a stinky pile of shite in my eyes, but we're talking about executives being assuaged for insurance purposes. They're willing to throw money at it, so I set them up with locklizard at $2500/year. All it really does is put hurdles in people's way, and we will be sure to let them know that if someone REALLY wants the data, they'll get it. Richrumble, thanks for the info, I'm sure it was fun. ahoffmann, stop grinning...you're creeping me out ;).

> .. stop grinning ..
hey, my grin was about rich's exhaustive explanation about what I already said.
I could have given you infinite examples which won't work, would that have been more worthfull?
Anyway, you got it now :)
