Title
A Secure Grid Medical Data Manager Interfaced to the gLite Middleware
Abstract
The medical community is producing and manipulating a tremendous volume of digital data for which computerized archiving, processing and analysis is needed. Grid infrastructures are promising for dealing with challenges arising in computerized medicine but the manipulation of medical data on such infrastruc- tures faces both the problem of interconnecting medical information systems to grid middlewares and of preserving patients' privacy in a wide and distributed multi- user system. These constraints are often limiting the use of grids for manipulating sensitive medical data. This paper describes our design of a medical data management system taking advantage of the advanced gLite data management services, developed in the context of the EGEE project, to fulfill the stringent needs of the medical community. It ensures medical data protection through strict data access control, anonymization and encryption. The multi-level access control provides the flexibility needed for
