I need some help with a project. I was thinking a perl program might be an answer.
I have sites that need to send sensitive data, usually in the form of text files, to me for processing on my end. The sites are usually medical folks who have only general computer knowledge and little ability (skill or authority
) to install programs under a NT enviornment.
The data is just a delimited text file of a table of names, ID numbers and a few other fields of demographic info. Most are fairly small, 200-300 lines, but can be up to 30,000.
My challenge is to get that text file to me securely via email. I have encryption programs but the sites cannot install programs readily. Is there a perl runtime that doesn't require an install script (registery edit, dlls everywhere, etc.)? My thoughts are that I could develop (or more specificly pay one of you to develop
) a perl script to scramble the text file using a runtime at the site (that I could email to them) and then unscramble it once received by me.
Is this possible under the above circumstances?
Thanks,
Dave
