Abstract:
The application of strong cryptography secures the integrity of medical data and their confidentiality during transmission. Encryption allows to use the Internet for the transmission of confidential medical data rendering an expensive specialised Internet like the DGN superfluous. By signing and timestamping medical records electronically their probative force is substantially improved in case of a law-suit.
