[Bobby T]

Hello,
I have created a form on my site where my clients can fill out information.
The form is then e-mailed to me. Some of the information on the form is
confidential. In order to maintain the confidentiality of the information,
is there some type of security or encryption that I can add to my site?
Using FrontPage2003. Appreciate any help you can give me on this.

Create a password protected subweb and place the page there.

Hi Bobby,

You will need a secure certificate from Verisign or some other certificate
provider. You should coordinate with your hosting company on this, as they
are the ones who will have to install it, and they may have some
requirements. A certificate allows you to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
When you use SSL, a public key is sent to the browser, and all data passing
from URLs that have an "https" protocol specified will be encrypted between
server and client.

Re: securityProtecting the page that accepts the input is not the problem,
however. Once the form data leaves your server on its way to the recipient
is where it becomes vulnerable.

I don't know how to do anything about this other than to never email
sensitive information. It would be better to save it in a database that has
good secure login.

Email can be encrypted using PGP encryption. Googling will find the
information about this high dollar solution.

Thanks for all helpful information.

Actually it is 1 of 2 problems-
1- Must be using a secured page so that the form
contents submitted are encrypted enroute to the server
2- The email needs to be encrypted also
