My 2c

Use a VPN with some type of RSA or rotating DEC key as the login
password for the users.

A tool like this can be used to generate the user passwords at each
login:

I would go with VPN's. Depending on the number of execs and how much you
trust them (if only a few with high trust I'd use a preshared secret
with the VPN) otherwise look into VPN with certificates.

My 2 cents,

I have client that would like to have its confidential
data (medical records) available to traveling
executives.

What is the most secure way to set this up?  Secure
web site using private certificates?  Go with VPN's?
Tell the client forget the idea because there is no
good way to secure confidential data exposed to the
Internet?

Suggestions...

Thanks for your help.
