[NTLUG:Discuss] OT? security comparsion

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

Here are some general guidelines:

1. Regular email is not secure.  You will have to add encryption
   to make it secure.

2. Using fax is more secure than email if there are only regular 
   telephone lines between the sender and receiver.  Using a 
   fax-over-email service (like eFax) is NOT secure.

In general, you should use https for anything sensitive you
are sending.  Better yet, encrypt it first if it needs to be
kept secure.

Hi All:

A lot of security experts say sending important on the internet is not a 
good idea.
It is true. But a lot of advantages make people willing to send importand 
information over internet.
Pay by credit card online is one of the example.

Does send  credit number via email will be "more" secure that SSL web site? 
I am talk in generic situation. like we all know https:// will be more 
secure the http://.

useing fax even more secure?!

Thanks
