What Methods are Used to Ensure Secure Data Transmission?
Several methods are employed to ensure secure data transmission in epidemiology:
Encryption: Data should be encrypted during transmission and at rest. AES is a widely used encryption standard. Secure Protocols: Use secure communication protocols such as HTTPS and VPNs to protect data during transmission. Authentication: Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that only authorized users can access the data. Access Controls: Restrict data access based on user roles and maintain an audit log of data access and transmission activities.
