Abstract

Privacy and integrity of medical records is expected by patients. This privacy and integrity is often mandated by regulations. Traditionally, the security of medical records has been based on physical lock and key. As the storage ofpatient record information shifts from paper to digital, new security concerns arise. Digital cryptographic methods provide solutions to many ofthese new concerns. In this paper we an overview of new security concerns, new legislation mandating secure medical records and solutions providing security.
