Transporting media in a secure manner over the Web is inherently
problematic, but as long as we're moving media around in a MetaCard stack it
raises an interesting question:
Why not put media (text, images) in a MetaCard stack as a wrapper, then set
a password for it for transport?
It would seem like such a scheme would provide a basic level of encryption
while adding very little to the size of the media. And using MC's built-in
GZip support, such files would likely be smaller than the native file
itself.
So here's the question: Just how secure is MC's encryption compared to,
say, PGP or other popular methods? Would it be considered suitable for
transporting medical record data?
