Secure FTP Access
All sound files created by the Telewave dictation system are protected
using an industry standard 128-bit encryption routine. These files may
be transported via regular FTP given that the recipient will only be
able to review if the have the proper authentication key provided by
Teletouch Services.
HIPAA requirement:
If you plan to transfer charts, patient files, or other documents that
require 128-bit encryption, you will need a browser that supports SSL
sessions.
The Teletouch FTP server allows SSL/TLS and
regular FTP sessions.
This option is also called explicit secure-FTP. The domain will allow
regular FTP sessions without encryption as well as encrypted FTP
sessions using SSL/TLS. The FTP client determines if it wants the
session to be encrypted or not by sending the AUTH command to the server
to switch to using SSL.
In
order to start an explicit secure-FTP session, you will need to install
an FTP client that supports this option. Most shareware FTP clients do
not support explicit secure, however, there are some available. The use
of these clients is at your risk. the responsibilty for determining if a
secure-FTP session is required is the responsibility of the user or
company requesting access.
For your convenience we have provided links to some of the secure FTP
clients we have seen.
