Using Encryption Garners Exemption For Data Breach Notification

Posted by timothy on from the keep-your-breeches-on dept.

Combat Wombat writes with this excerpt from the Register: "New data breach rules for US healthcare providers have come under criticism from a security firm that specialises in encryption. As part of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which comes into effect from 23 September, health organisations in the US that use encryption will no longer be obliged to notify clients of breaches."

    It's pig latin. Like the GP said.

    1) Drop the "ay" suffix: Anc ouy eadr isth?
    2) Move the last letter to the first: cAn you read this?

    There's other rules, but this'll get you by. Apparently it's stronger than rot13.
