摘要

1. HIPAA-HCFA compliance should build on solid foundation of network security 2. All remote access users must be included in security policy 2.1 If mobile dialup, provide antivirus protection and personal firewall software 2.2 If broadband connected SOHO, add hardware DSL/Cable router or hardware firewall component 3. PKI is a necessary component for the effective delivery of advanced HIPAA-HCFA compliant VPN solutions. 3.1 PKIs enable uniquely effective security solutions for Internet applications. 3.2 Many business and technical barriers are inhibiting broad adoption of PKI services. 3.3 Integration of PKI with VPN services has demonstrated that sophisticated solutions can be delivered cost effectively to a broad market.
