What is the Secure Encryption and Decryption System (SENDS), and why do I need it?
Because confidential information is being transferred, the Division has created the Secure Encryption and Decryption System “SENDS” program to compress and encrypt the file(s). This level of encryption protects the data while at the Data Reporter’s site awaiting submission, during the actual transmission, and at the Division before it is processed. The same is true in reverse for files/reports downloaded from the Division to Data Reporters.
