Zusammenfassung:Techniques described herein provide enhanced management of passwords for applications and services. Generally described, the techniques disclosed herein leverage the strength of existing security measures built into operating systems to generate and communicate encrypted passwords to enable components of a computing system to operate with a heightened level of security. In some configurations, the encryption of a password using strong keys that are associated with an identity improve the security of a computing device as well as improve the security, processing, and communication of secured documents and printing schemas. In some configurations, passwords for accessing documents are encrypted and embedded in printing schemas. The encrypted password is communicated between modules of an operating system in a process for generating PDF files having improved security. The claimed techniques also leverage components of existing systems without the requirement of additional libraries.
