eDAMIS and Confidentiality
eDAMIS always provides a secure (encrypted) data transmission channel in transit (on Internet)
For confidential data, eDAMIS uses a public key for providing a second level of encryption which guaranties that data is delivered encrypted in the Eurostat secure environment (and decrypted there with a private key)
In all cases, encryption is transparent for the data senders
