security

Hello,

I would love some feedback / discussion regarding security and the submission of online forms using sensitive data. I work for a small college and our website is hosting in a shared environment. There has been discussion about making the college application form, application for residence form and a few others available online. What tips / concerns can you provide to securely get the information from the user in an encrypted fashion?

My primary concerns are storage of private information on a shared server and emailing of private information in an unencrypted fashion.

Hi there

I've currently been testing Drupal on my own hosting space which has been fine.

I did this because at the Unversity I work at it can be a pain to get software installed - the server guys+gals are not that happy to see me put new software on our servers (we have two dedicated to our department) - understandably their concerns are security support issues etc. I wanted to see if Drupal was for us before I went through the process of getting it installed.
