Guideline for Cryptographic Mechanisms for Health Care Management

The comprehensive objective of SEISMED (a S ecure E nvironment for I nformation S ystems
in MED icine) was to elaborate a consistent, harmonized framework for medical data

accompanied by a high level security policy which presents the underlying principles. This
approach is consistent with the forthcoming European ITSEC activity.
