    Anonymity preserving authorization granting in medical information networks
    (European Conference on eHealth 2006, 2006) Eskeland, Sigurd; Oleshchuk, Vladimir
    Due to the sensitivity of personal medical information, this paper addresses the need of hiding patient identities - in contrast to only keeping their medical data confidential. Thus, it is desirable that personal and meaningful patient identity information like names, addresses, personal identity numbers, etc., are not to be linked to disclosed electronic patient records (EPR). To achieve this, we propose a scheme that enables patients to anonymously grant medical teams authorization to access their EPRs without revealing their identities to the teams providing medical care. An essential benefit is that it enables patients to exert control over their own medical data. A security evaluation is included.

    EPR Access Authorization of Medical Teams Based on Patient Consent
    (European Conference on eHealth 2007, 2007) Eskeland, Sigurd; Oleshchuk, Vladimir
    Electronic patient records (EPR) may contain highly confidential and personal medical information. It is therefore essential that medical data is properly protected and managed. Today, it is widely recognized that patients have a right to self- determination and to exert control of their own medical data by consent. In this paper, we present a cryptographic EPR access authorization scheme that incorporates patient consent as a basis for granting EPR access to medical teams or practitioners. This ensures that only the medical practitioners specified by a consenting patient are granted EPR access. If a patient is unconscious, the variation of the scheme allows an emergency or security team to act on behalf of the patient.
