Or, 4.) GPs (and specialists) finally come to terms with the 21st century and the existence of the Internet, pull their bloody finger out and LEARN the few basics of STANDARD secure messaging - and the government pulls their finger out in turn and MANDATES the use of a given standard. I don't care whether we all agree to use HTTPS or XML-RPC or SOAP or SMTP in order to get a message from A to B, as long as it is an openly published and widely implemented standard I don't care whether the message is wrapped into XML, HL7 version xyz, or YAML - as long as it is an openly published and widely accepted standard Even my 9 yo daughter has no problems whatsoever to use either OpenGPG or X.509 in order to encrypt, decrypt, sign or check signatures For more than a decade, I have been communicating reliably and secure with others all around the globe. Never had to ask anybody to install let alone purchase any obscure proprietary software So pleeeease colleagues, stop procrastinating Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
