Encryption Software

Now that I have most of the paperwork for fall semester completed, I have time to do some exploring.  With privacy issues associate with HIPAA and FERPA, it is important for clinicians and educators to use encryption software.  AxCrypt (http://www.axantum.com/) has just released a new update to the free encryption software.  The software is really easy to use.  Simply right-click on a file or folder and select encrypt from the menu. 

To learn more about encryption, go to How Stuff Works at http://www.howstuffworks.com/encryption.htm 

New computers often have encryption software pre-installed.

  1. My problem with using this at work has been getting people on the receiving end to use it and call me for the password. I usually have to follow the email u with a call and then they say, 'send me a paper copy'! Gezzz..
