How do I securely transfer sensitive data over the internet?
- Use an encrypted connection such as SSL/TLS to ensure your data is safe while in transit.
- Authenticate each user prior to data transfer. Use strong authentication methods like two-factor authentication.
- Never transfer passwords in plain text. Instead, use an approved hashing algorithm.
- Use digital signature validation to verify the identity of the sender with the help of digital certificates.
- Ensure that data is stored using encryption methods such as AES, Blowfish, etc.
