I'm setting up a registration form for patients on a doctor's website an want to comply with HIPAA privacy requirements.  Does anyone know how to encrypt emails sent from forms over email on Joomla (ie - using PGP)?  I know that there has been a suggestion that one use a database to store the data, and this is somehow equivalent to email encryption, but a) I don't think it is equivalent and b) am not sure this is allowed under HIPAA.

This is a very important question for me too.  I developed a site for my own practice, and i am now trying to figure out if it is possible to make it HIPPA compliant.

Instead of having the form-result sent by e-mail directly to the doctor,  send it to a mail-account on the same host that runs Joomla! with a procmail script like the following:

Code:
:0 hbf
| gpg -ear doctors.address@example.com

:0
! doctors.address@example.com


That will take care of privacy.  For accountability,  it would still be a good idea to also write all form-submissions to a database table.
