One of the key advantages of using the Secure File Transfer System is that you can keep tight control over who has access to the data that you are making available on the web. Security is built into the system in four key ways:

1. To access to the system, you must have a valid user account:

2. Each User Account has a number of settings that control what the user can do. Users can be given access to send messages and files, view messages and files, and view reports. Users can also be allowed to delete messages and files. Finally, each user account can also be set to expire on a certain date:

3. Each User is assigned to one or more Shared Inboxes. If the user has access to a particular Shared Inbox, he/she will be able to send messages and files to the Shared Inbox and view messages and files that have been delivered to the Shared Inbox. If the user does not have access to a particular Shared Inbox, he/she will not even know that it exists!

4. Messages and files are kept safe from prying eyes during sending and viewing by 128 bit SSL encryption (the same security that financial and e-commerce websites use). While being stored on the server, messages and files are kept secure by being encrypted with 128 or 256 bit AES encryption. No one will ever be able to browse the contents of any message or file stored in the system without a valid user account and the appropriate system permissions.
