When transmitting health information you must protect "all individually identifiable data for which unauthorized disclosure would constitute clearly unwarrented invasion of personal privacy likely to lead to specific detrimental consequences for the individual in terms of financial, employment, medical, phsychological or social standing." "Its permissable to use the internet for transmission of HCFA Privacy Act protected and/or other sensitive HCFA information, as long as an acceptable method of encryption is utilized to provide for confidentiality and integrity of this data, and that authentication procedures are employed to assure that both the sender and recipient of the data are known to each other and are authorized to recieve and decrypt such informatioin" Just a little research
