INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129420 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that automatically sets encryption-related settings for communication with a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server based on the selected type.
- The apparatus sets encryption-related settings for communication with an SMTP server based on the selected type.
- It enables encryption of the communication path with the SMTP server using the established encryption-related settings.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in email communication systems, secure messaging platforms, and network security solutions.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of manually configuring encryption settings for communication with SMTP servers, ensuring secure communication paths.
Benefits
- Enhanced security for communication with SMTP servers - Simplified setup process for encryption-related settings - Automated configuration reduces the risk of human error in setting up secure communication paths
Potential Commercial Applications
"Automated Encryption Setting Configuration for Secure Communication with SMTP Servers" could find applications in email service providers, cybersecurity companies, and organizations requiring secure email communication solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of encryption protocols in email communication systems to secure communication paths with SMTP servers.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the efficiency of email communication systems?
This technology could potentially improve the efficiency of email communication systems by automating the configuration of encryption settings, but the specific impact on efficiency needs further exploration.
What are the potential limitations of this automated encryption setting configuration?
While this technology simplifies the process of setting up secure communication paths with SMTP servers, there may be limitations in compatibility with certain encryption protocols or server configurations that need to be addressed.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing apparatus having a function of setting a setting value group associated with one type selected from a plurality of types in the information processing apparatus acquires, based on the selected one type, information indicating whether communication with a simple mail transfer protocol (smtp) server is established using encryption-related settings for encrypting a communication path with the smtp server and automatically sets, in a case where the information is information indicating that communication with the smtp server is established, a setting value for enabling a function of encrypting the communication path with the smtp server using the encryption-related settings by which communication is established.
