It's point-to-point. Unless someone is tapping your phone line, or you dial the wrong number, where's the insecurity?
Contrast that with email, which goes through any number of emails, sits in queues, gets backed up, etc.
Of course some of the time you're actually faxing a fax-to-email gateway, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
- hombre_fatal 6y ago> where's the insecurity? All of the other security issues aside, how about simply walking over to the unprotected fax machine and leaving with a stack of "private" records? Not sure you want to die on the hill of defending fax security.
- ballenf 6y agoAgain the threat vector is the people within physical vicinity. People who would then be subject to trespassing or theft charges. And likely caught on camera. Versus the entire world on the internet. Yeah, I'll take fax security over normal email security, thanks.
- Spivak 6y agoBut the current standard for normal email security is TLS at every leg from inbox to inbox? I mean I get the dream of not having the consider the network as an adversarial entity but surely they're about the same?
