e−health security issues: the eDiaMoND perspective
David Power, Andrew C. Simpson, Mark Slaymaker · 2004
The principle aim of the e-DiaMoND project is to develop a prototype Grid infrastructure to support the needs of the breast care community. The prototype system is but one major deliverable of the project; the other is a blueprint document that describes how a system such as e-DiaMoND might be deployed throughout the United Kingdom to support the NHS Breast Screening Programme. A key consideration of both the prototype and the blueprint document is security. We provide a summary of the generic security issues faced by e-Health projects such as e-DiaMoND.
