Abstract:
The present paper describes the initial ideas for the author PhD thesis dissertation. The main goal of the research is to use Federated Identity and Access Management techniques in widespread use in academic networks, and more every day on the whole Internet, to the controlled, accountable and open access to health information over the Internet as well as controlling and securing the linkage of such data to a given individual. The challenge is to open the data buried in health records for research without giving out information that will allow to identify the individual persons. All of it keeping the real owners of the data, the individuals, in control of the information release. For this, we propose federated identity use to control access to linkage information about medical acts made publicly available. Using this technique, it would be even possible to provide totally anonymous informed health care.
