Information transmitted over internet is vulnerable to snooping. Moreover the data can be mangled with. Hence there is always a necessity of secure transmission. Cloud faxing is no exception to this case. The documents to be faxed needs to be secured. There has to be some security measure taken that will ensure safe transmission of data.
Security techniques that can be implemented are:
1. Encryption: There are various algorithms, like RSA and Diffie-Hellman that can be used for the purpose. Encryption is a process of generating cryptic text from the meaningful text. It is simple scrambling of words to make them appear random. In cloud faxing generally the fax is sent as a mail document to the given mail-id. The documents then are encrypted using a dedicated system for the same purpose.
2. Digital Signature: This technology allows generating a signature for identifying the sender. The signature is generated for every single communication. This signature is known only by the sender and receiver. Due to this any intruders cannot easily acquire the information within those documents. Thus providing secure transmission of data across network.
Thus cloud faxing is more secure than traditional system. It provides better security and hence is suitable for transmission of confidential and sensitive information. Considering these additional feature, it has gained popularity across globe.
