I'm just a user not an expert on BrailleNotes, but ... If the pages you would need to use are similar in security to banking sites, meaning they have an address starting with https, then I believe they should work just fine. Secure sites just require 128 bit encription and keyweb obviously supports that. I have used my BrailleNote to do online banking with wells Fargo, and it worked great. Now using wireless might be something they don't approve of, but that is not a BrailleNote issue, because either they let everyone use wireless, or they don't let anyone use it, and you would need to use what ever connection method is used by others. It's not that Wireless isn't often very secure, but rather that some organizations don't like it because it can be slightly less secure in their minds, then a wired connection can be.
Of course you are correct that a BrailleNote being a special kind of device, should be way more secure than a normal computer would be. We all know how secure Microsoft software is. <grin> Sarah Van Oosterwijck Assistive Technology Trainer http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity ----- Original Message ----- From: Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc.

Hello Everyone: Perhaps Jonathan, Dean, or any other member of the family can answer this one. Is it possible, perhaps with the Classic BrailleNote or the MPower to access secured sites? Amongst other things, I provide BILLING AGENT services for a number of medical facilities. To submit their claims for processing by insurance, I am required to ensure that the information I transmit is known ONLY TO ME under the Health Insurance Portability & Accounting Act, commonly called (HIPAA). I'd like to be able to SUBMIT THE SAID CLAIMS using the BrailleNote because, for me, it will be FAR MORE SECURED than a regular computer would be. I won't deploy the use of the BrailleNote until I upgrade to Version 7 of Keysoft and take advantage of wireless networking and such, but I just thought I should ask here first for advice on the subject. Thanks a trillion for all help!!
