If you really need this kind of security... Both parties have take precautions.... Something like the PGP idea to encrypt message's is probarly the easiest and cheapest way... If you try to something easier you instantly loose a lot of security..... Don't even think about putting the sensetive information in a password protected zip file or office document....
Remember: Its better to be insecure and know it, then make a poor attempt to security and rely on it! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: woensdag 27 maart 2002 17:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Forcing encrypted e-mail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Due to HIPAA regulations, certain sensitive information will have to be encrypted. Currently, we have users who want to e-mail sensitive information to vendors. The obvious solution seems to be PGP, but I cannot rely on end-users to remember to encrypt all of their messages. There is also the issue of vendors who receive some of this information not being very tech savvy. Is there some other solution (specific, please) which would guarantee that certain information is encrypted, without placing a level of trust on the vendor or our users? VPN is not an option and e-mail or web seems like the best delivery vehicle. Thanks. Hush provide the worlds most secure, easy to use online applications - which solution is right for you?
