There are several methods to protect data in transit in epidemiology:
Encryption: Encrypting data before transmission ensures that even if the data is intercepted, it cannot be read without the appropriate decryption key. Secure Protocols: Using secure transmission protocols such as HTTPS, SSL/TLS, and VPNs can help protect data as it moves across networks. Authentication: Ensuring that only authorized users and systems can access and send data helps to prevent unauthorized access and tampering. Integrity Checks: Implementing integrity checks such as hash functions can help verify that data has not been altered during transit.
