## Is Nomsa secure?

Emails, SMSes and Telegram messages are not 100% secure. Users should be wary of putting sensitive information directly in your message body. Depending on the level of sensitivity, users can consider using recipient-specific, high-entropy links or requiring further authentication to see sensitive information.

## Difference between the Web App and Programmatic APIs

**Web App:** Users can access  Nomsa by going to [ ](https://nomsa.gov.kh/)[https://nomsa.gov.kh](https://nomsa.gov.kh/) . The web app has a user interface that allows users to send templated messages via campaigns.

In order to use this feature, you need to generate an API key from `Settings` in the Nomsa web app. You can find more by going to our API Guide [here](https://guide.nomsa.gov.kh/api-guide/overview).
