Abstract

This paper studies issues related to privacy protection of medical data, arguing that the topic is suitable for applied cryptographic research. We present the problem of medicine prescription privacy and describe a practical system that employs standard cryptographic techniques to achieve several improvements over current practices. We also introduce a very simple tool: Online group signatures which can be built via simple primitives implemented in commonly employed cryptographic libraries.
