CALL FOR CHAPTERS Proposals Submission Deadline: 5/1/2009 Full Chapters Due: 7/1/2009 Certification and Security in Health-Related Web Applications: Concepts and Solutions A book edited by Dr. Ioannis Apostolakis, National School of Public Health, Dept. of Health Economics, Greece Mr. Anargyros Chryssanthou, MSc, Data Protection Authority, Auditors Department, Greece Dr. Iraklis Varlamis, Harokopio University of Athens, Dept. of Informatics & Telematics, Greece Introduction The main issue of concern in health-related applications is the protection of medical data. A patient?s profile data is deemed as sensitive data and is protected by data protection laws. Medical data needs to be accessible only by authorized people. It needs to remain confidential, maintain its? integrity, and be available to authorized people upon request. In the classic model of CIA, this perspective publication seeks to integrate two new aspects of security, authorization, and non-repudiation.
In the case of health related web applications, medical information that is transferred across the network should be encrypted, secured, and protected. Additionally, to secure the exchanging endpoints we need to accurately verify the real identity of the exchanging parties, in order to prevent cases of identity theft. Any transfer of medical data also needs to be audited properly, in order for the administrators responsible or the authorities to be able to connect any faulty transaction with the exchanging parties and attribute responsibilities. Processes need to be established to be able to certify each transacting party, each transfer, and the associated level of security. Certification, in terms of security, refers to the compliance to suitable standards and regulations ranging from the ISO 27001:2005 standard to HIPAA and data protection laws. Certification in health-related web applications springs from the need to verify the accurate, impervious, and protected exchange! of medical data.
Objective of the Book This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area. It is expected to increase interaction between members of the medical community, IT professionals, and all other interested parties. It is also expected to review the certification and security procedures through collaboration, to identify open threats and emerging needs, and to provide solutions. With this book, we intend to provide a valuable tool for every professional intending to develop, support or participate in a health related application over the internet. The chapters that will be published are expected to cover as many security and certification issues as possible and provide practical solutions and case study applications. This publication aims to become the initial reference book, the gateway, which can lead to potential solutions for issues that lurk in the background.
Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers that employ, study, design, and implement health related web applications. Students of management of healthcare systems and healthcare managers in general will use this book as a companion that helps them avoid design pitfalls and a walkthrough towards building trustful medical communities. Security professionals working in medical institutions will be able to identify compliance requirements and implement the proper measures to achieve an adequate level of security for medical data and certification, either by certification bodies or by data protection authorities.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability in health related web applications Risk analysis in health related web applications Medical computer networks and security management Applying ISO standards (ISO 27001:2005, ISO 17999:2005) in healthcare environments Compliance in health related web applications Health related web applications and data protection laws Trust in healthcare communities Certification in medical applications
