Did a little bit of Google... Oh Boy!
Better get ready for a major run around... (reminds me of another federal agency's documentation.. the US Postal Service)
HIPAA security is explained on the HHS.gov web site at: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/faq/securityrule/2021.html
Which will send you to NIST.gov where you want to visit documents SP 800-66 and SP 800-111: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsSPs.html
For encryption, they recommend VPN and AES encryption. Look for FIPS-197 on FIPS at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html
You may want to Google "EPHI" also...
