SECURITY & AUTHENTICATION

06.02.2013

15

The 6 main principles “6 whales” of security of Estonian eHealth system 1. 2. 3. 4.

5. 6.

A secure authentication of all users with ID-card or Mobile ID Digital signing or stamping of all medical documents A maximum accountability (transparency): all actions will leave an unchangeable (and unremovable) secure trail Coding of personal data: separating of personal data from medical data Encrypted database that allows to remove the confidentiality risk from the technical administrators Monitoring of all actions together with the corresponding countermeasures (both organizational and technical)
