Section: HCFA Internet Security Policy and Encryption Methods
Updated 04/04/01
The HCFA Internet Security Policy has a section on acceptable encryption methods, encryption models and approaches, acceptable authentication approaches, acceptable identification approaches and more. This is very specific and has explanations of various ways to become secure whereas HIPAA is somewhat vague. The website is http://www.hcfa.gov/security/isecplcy.htm .
