Am I missing something, or am I being too cautious? After answering them
tonight, I thought I'd get someone else's take on it.
we used GPG (open source version of PGP) to encrypt data being emailed.
since we were sending apps for health insurance, including everything, I was
told (but did not verify) that it met some fairly rigid standards for
security.
on a *NIX box it's pretty easy to set up; just encrypt the data before it's
emailed, and decrypt on the other end. we had insurance people doing it, so
a real human being should be able to manage it, too.
