Abstract

Mobile and wireless devices have penetrated the health care sector due to their increased functionality, low cost, high reliability and easy-to-use nature. However, in such health care applications the privacy and security of the transmitted information must be preserved. Also different personal involved in the Healthcare industry must have different access privileges to the patient information. In this paper we present a protocol that will share the information securely to the intended recipient using the XML encryption and XML signature technologies
