Abstract
A document management system includes a document. One or more of a plurality of map-files of the document correspond(s) with a step of a multi-step workflow associated with the document. A random nonce is generated for each of the steps of the multi-step workflow except for an initial step of the multi-step workflow. Each of the random nonces i) is incorporated as a map-file entry into a respective one of the plurality of map-files corresponding with a step of the multi-step workflow that directly precedes the step of the multi-step workflow for which the random nonce is generated and ii) is used to perform a nonce-based initiating operation a respective one of the plurality of map-files corresponding with the step of the multi-step workflow for which the random nonce is generated.
