 How do you encrypt a small network to ensure that people do not intrude and access important and confidential materials? Are there good off-the shelf packages that I can buy to carry out this encryption process? Can I design the system myself or I would need the services of an expert to do this? How can I check from time-to-time that this system is functioning normally?
