***** THIS EMAIL WAS SENT VIA THE INTERNET ***** I agree too but if sending sensitive data as we do here with the Scottish Exec, NHS Partners etc. we ensure that the recipient has a gsi address - otherwise it is a no-no.........sorry if I confused you all.

Clearly, a .gsi, .cjx or similar is secure within it's own boundaries but won't be if a message is sent to the public internet or other insecure intranet. There are other significant security issues too in this scenario, obviously the identities of military personnel which should be protected along with associated security requirements to prevent compromising military activities. Encryption at the correct level should establish the technical security however, strict organisational discipline with appropriate operational procedures must also be employed.

There are two quite different kinds of security involved here. One is anti-eavesdropping, which is largely independent of the email addresses used (unless you are sure that email from one to the other is either encrypted or never travels via the public Internet). The other is to do with identity, and being sure (for some value of "sure") who is at the other end. Again, encryption can solve some of that, and some top level domains are hard to infiltrate. But what if the recipient leaves their PC switched on at lunchtime, or there's a mole in the IT department. All good DP issues, in fact. -- Roland Perry ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ******************************************************************** * This email is privileged, confidential and subject to copyright. * * Any unauthorised use or disclosure of its content is prohibited. * * The views expressed in this communication may not necessarily * * be the views held by Scottish Borders Council. * ******************************************************************** ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
