Key features of this system are:
- Web browser interface: Users can quickly, easily and securely send and
receive files
- All files received by the Clearinghouse are securely stored using FIPS
140-2 validated AES encryption, the US federal encryption standard
- Eliminates need for encryption, compression and sometimes complicated
FTP line commands
- For automated environments, no cost/low cost
secure FTP clients can exchange files over encrypted FTPS and SSH
connections.
