[privacy] Nevada Law Mandates Encryption of Electronically-Transmitted Personal Information

["John Payton" <john.payton () gmail com>]

Nevada has enacted a data security law that mandates encryption for
the transmission of personal information (see Nev. Rev. Stat. §
597.970 (2005)).  Specifically, the Nevada encryption statute
generally prohibits a business in Nevada from transferring "any
personal information of a customer through an electronic
transmission," except via facsimile, "unless the business uses
encryption to ensure the security of electronic transmission."[1]  The
Nevada encryption law goes into effect on October 1, 2008.
