Hi Oliver,

Looking back to my message, my choice of words was probably not very good. I realized later that the document was not to remained encrypted with the location certs, only while in transit from A to B and then back to plain text, so there is no long term issue.

My use of "...long term" meant that a document is encrypted and the user needs to read the document, say 5 years later, well unless you have the appropriate key you cannot read it. That was my original concern.

Hope it helps,

Mario

Mario, what do you mean by "encrypt them for the long term"?

As I understand it, messages sent via Argus are encrypted only *during transmission* - that is, from the time that the sender hits the 'email via Argus' button until the time that the receiving system's Argus client polls the in box of the receiving practice's dedicated Argus email address, when it decrypts them.

Before the sender hits the 'email via Argus' button, and after the receiving practice's Argus system has taken messages from the in box of the receiving practice's dedicated Argus email address, the messages are not encrypted.
