More Information About the Encryption

For those of you who are still worried, or just curious, here is a little more about the encryption process. When you click the link above you will be directed to the prescription information request form. You will be connected by a SSL (Secure Socket Layer). SSL encrypts the information that is being sent from your browser and sends it to the server. The security certificate that you accept is for the SSL. This web site's certificate is actually made out to s415.sureserver.com because it is a shared certificate. On most browsers, when connected by SSL there will be a lock in the lower right hand corner of your browser window. Click for a definition of SSL or to read the SSL 3.0 Specifications.

Assuming that you do not have a virus that is on your computer logging your keystrokes, and that you are actually connected to the novagidoc.com web site, your information should arrive safely to the server.

Once at the server, your information is encrypted and then sent by email to the doctor's office. The information is encrypted by Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG) the open source replacement for PGP. Here is GnuPG's official web site and some documentation. The information is encoded with a 4096 bit key. The information is encoded with a public-key, a key that anyone can view. The information can only be decrypted with a private-key, a key that is only on the office's computers. Once the information arrives at the office and is signed by your doctor, it is sent to the pharmacy via phone or fax, and then the information is in the pharmacy's hands.
