  1. The Use of X.509 in E-Healthcare Professor David W Chadwick University of Salford

  2. X.509 Public-key and attribute certificate frameworks • X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) provides a standard for strong authentication, based on public key certificates and certification authorities • X.509 Privilege Management Infrastructure (PMI) provides a standard for strong authorization, based on attribute certificates and attribute authorities Workshop on Standardization in E-health

  3. E-Healthcare Projects • X.509 PKI - Secure access to a hospital Diabetes Information System for high street opticians and general practitioners via the Internet • Chadwick, D.W.,Cook, P., Young, A.J., McDowell, D.M., and New, J.P., “Can the Internet be used to securely and confidentially access hospital diabetes information systems?” British Medical Journal, Vol 321, 9 Sept 2000, pp 612-614. • X.509 PKI and PMI - Secure authorisations of prescribers, dispensers and patients in the Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions • D.W.Chadwick, D.Mundy, "Policy Based Electronic Transmission of Prescriptions", to be presented at IEEE POLICY 2003, 4-6 June, Lake Como, Italy Workshop on Standardization in E-health

  4. Components of a PKI Certification Authority Registration Authority Public key X.500/LDAP Repository Public key certificate Subscriber Private key Workshop on Standardization in E-health

  5. PKI Access Control Lists • Authentication is External to the Application Application Gateway Digital Signature Public Key Infrastructure One password or pin to access private key Multiple Administrators High cost of administration No overall Security Policy Workshop on Standardization in E-health

  6. DIS Components Entrust Direct Server Proxy MS IIS + CGI scripts Hospital Hospital Firewall Diabetes Intranet (Checkpoint) Information System UoS X.500 Internet Server Entrust Client Netscape/IE Firewall X.509 CA (GP/ + Practice Entrust Direct UoS Nurse) Client Proxy TTP Server Workshop on Standardization in E-health

  8. PMI • Authentication and Authorisation are External to the Application Application Gateway Digital Signature Application Public Key Infrastructure One password or pin to access private key Privilege Management Infrastructure Fewer Administrators Lower cost of admin Overall Authorization Policy Workshop on Standardization in E-health
