What is the difference between NIST buffer solution and USA buffer solutions?

When setting up your pH meter you need to specify that the standard solutions are NIST, USA, China or Custom standards. Typically pH meters will automatically identify the pH 7 buffer standard as 6.86 for the NIST selection and 7.00 for the USA selection. The pH 4 buffer standard value will be identified as 4.01 for the NIST selection and 4.00 for the USA selection. The pH 10 buffer standard value will be identified as 9.18 for the NIST selection and 10.00 for the USA selection. A "Custom" selection on your pH meter will allow you to make your special selection of the standards you want to use. Read the calibration meter set up section of your pH meter manual and check your pH buffer standard labels to ensure you match your pH meter set up to the standards you intend to use.

Which cryptography should be use to encrypt the data for an online service provider if the liability is the number one consideration?

Probably the best choice would be to use AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption with a 256 bit key size. There are actually at least 3 different key sizes that can be used with AES - 128, 192, and 256 bits. The longer keys require a little more computational overhead but are more secure. The AES ciphers have been analyzed extensively and are now used worldwide. AES was announced by NIST as U.S. Federal Information Protection Standard (FIPS) Publication 197 (FIPS 197) on November 26, 2001 after a 5-year standardization process in which fifteen competing designs were presented and evaluated before one was chosen to become "AES". The actual cipher chosen by NIST to be publicised under the appellation of AES was the Rijndael cipher submitted by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. It became effective as a Federal government standard on May 26, 2002 after approval by the Secretary of Commerce. It is available in many different encryption packages. AES is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the NSA for top secret information. AES can be implemented in software, but it also lends itself to hardware implementations. AES encryption chips allow much faster encryption of data since all the steps of the encryption are hardwired into the chip. The chips are not horribly expensive and the performance improvement versus software implementations of AES can make the price worth it.
