Security on medical data sharing (a literature review)
Dayana Spagnuelo, Gabriele Lenzini · 2015
From a patient’s perspective, the viewpoint of this paper, it may be easier to address at least one of such requirements: to inform patients about how secure their data are. This is a property usually referred as transparency, but a clear meaning of the word is still missing. According to [2] transparency ought to be regarded as an additional feature that qualifies security. So, security can be said to be transparent when is intelligible to human user. It opposes an opaque security, which holds technically but without the user’s being aware of it. Thus, transparency is a socio-technical security property.
