A significant amount of data transferred and stored across networks is private information.
In the case of health records and patient data, the privacy of the electronic information is not only sensitive, but protected by law.
As communication between health practitioners moves increasingly to being electronic and the advantages of sharing patient information becomes clearer, issues of privacy and security of this information also assumes a greater importance.
As there are various solutions to securing patient data through encryption, choosing an implementation which is practical, secure, usable and efficient becomes more difficult.
This project attempts to compare and test the suitability of encryption solutions to be applied to the Medical Messaging Exchange (MMEx), developed by the UWA Centre for Software Practice for use by health practitioners on the Great Southern Managed Health Network (http://www.gsmhn.com.au)
