# Security Overview

HPE provides the software infrastructure that automates operations on unstructured information. This software infrastructure is based on IDOL Server.

The Intellectual Asset Protection System (IAS) protects the information that you index into IDOL Server.

Your organization is likely to store information in many repositories. Many of these repositories have security features that apply permissions to files, so that they can be viewed only by authorized personnel. The Intellectual Asset Protection System ensures that when you index information into IDOL Server, these permissions continue to be enforced. In response to a query, IDOL only returns documents that a user is permitted to view.

The Intellectual Asset Protection System includes the following features to protect your data:

- User authentication. At the front end, users must log on before they can query IDOL. IAS can authenticate users against an existing directory service, such as Microsoft Active Directory.
- Document security. IDOL Server checks each document that is returned in response to a query. If the user who submitted the query does not have permission to view the document, the document is removed from the query results before the results are returned.
- Secure communications. You can encrypt the communications between ACI servers and any applications that use the HPE IDOL ACI API.
