Links to documents accessed from a Web browser can be encrypted using LibertyNet's proprietary encryption scheme. The URL is concealed from a Web client to prevent "fishing" attacks on the document store. This is true even if the system allows anonymous logins--the URL is obfuscated so you can't use the same URL and change the file name to look for another file in the same directory structure.
LibertyNet converts folders and individual documents into XML. Its XML/XSL Web server then matches the XML data with an XSL style-sheet template. The templates provide data interchange to external formats, like HMTL, to meet client-specific preferences for customization and personalization.
LibertyNet's Token Security Model provides granular security. Tokens are used to secure any object in the system, such as a document, folder, form or business rule. Specify one or more token names in a security object, such as read-only, write or delete, and assign it to the resource to be protected. No action can then be taken on the object without the respective token. In addition, LibertyNet supplies a partial SOX solution by calling on a partner, IBM's E-Records Manager, which provides LibertyNet with support for both DoD 5015.2 and UK-PRO.

But because Defense's 5015.2 standard requires baseline functionality for records-management software used by the department in its records-management programs, defines required system interfaces and search criteria, and specifies the minimum functionality necessary to meet National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) regulations, it can be a good barometer for basic records management your enterprise might need to satisfy laws and regulations like HIPAA and SOX.
