An excellent solution for secure exchange of library documents is MyDelivery, a free, prototype tool available from the National Library of Medicine. It offers end-to-end encryption of all information, which is better than secure FTP transmission, where the document usually sits on the server in an unencrypted state. More information follows below.
-Frank Walker, National Library of Medicine MyDelivery - Call for beta testers MyDelivery, a prototype tool for communicating health and biomedical information developed by NLM's research engineers, is released for beta testing. MyDelivery enables two individuals to exchange information in a highly secure and reliable way, even through potentially unreliable wireless networks, and overcomes limitations of attachment size and quantity often encountered in email. MyDelivery's email-like user interface allows file attachments to be large in size (several gigabytes) or quantity (several thousand). Furthermore, its HIPAA-compliant end-to-end encryption and verification of data is accomplished through the invisible management of security certificates. This tool has potential applications in communication of patient health information, biomedical research, library document delivery, secure data exchange, and telecommuting. Beta testers are invited to use it and provide feedback on its utility. The free registration and Windows client software are available at http://mydelivery.nlm.nih.gov. ----- Original Message ----- From: Document Delivery To: Discussion of the Ariel Document Transmission System Sent: Saturday, July 18, 2009 10:29 AM Subject: RE: [ARIE-L] Secure FTP transfers w/ Ariel Yes, I think you can send them securely to Ariel's store and forward server, and they'll forward them to the library they are going to. We don't use this, but I've seen it, Ed Helmrich Iona College ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of Keith Sent: Fri 7/17/2009 4:39 PM To: ARIE-L Subject: [ARIE-L] Secure FTP transfers w/ Ariel I need to know if Ariel is capable of a Secure FTP transfer of articles to a server. Personally, I doubt this. If your institution has a work around please reply on the list. I will bet I am not the only one wanting to know this.
