    Folks,

    I don't mean to toot my own horn, but is anybody aware of PKZIP's
    encryption and authentication features?

    These were Ron's requirements: inexpensive, easy to deploy,
    convenient to use, and easy to train staff, encryption solution.

    As opposed to using this forum for giving a sales pitch I would simply
    ask you to visit www.pkware.com and explore the possibilities. There
    are HIPAA case studies and other materials for you to look at.

    Also, I would invite anybody with any familiarity with the PKZIP Secure
    product to let me know what you think: good, bad, or indifferent. Good
    topic by the way!

    If you are in a windows enviroment, you can use IPSEC policies within
    the domain security policy to encrypt traffic on the LAN. This is of
    course with a very high overhead. I am not deeply versed in HIPPA
    policies. You can reduce some of the overhead by just encrypting
    traffic between domain controllers. I know that also if you uses Cisco
    routers for your WAN, they can be configured to encrypt that traffic as
    well.

    What are you trying to encrypt and from what points?

    i.e. PHI in e-mail - suggest Kryptiq, Sigaba, PGP enterprise solutions
    depending on your needs you could also use desktop - ssl file
    transfer/gateway decryption VPN -works for communications over telecomm
    lines for business partners, subsidiaries, etc.

    secure ftp - for file transfer

    web file repository - ssl file transfer

    Your soultion wil ldepend on what you are looking to encrypt, why and
    the to/from points.

    Hello to All,

    In order to provide security solutions for HIPAA compliance, encryption,
    though not required, seems to solve several of the problems. Would
    anyone have some suggestions for an inexpensive, easy to deploy,
    convenient to use, and easy to train staff, encryption solution? Other
    thoughts?
