Abstract
Secure storage and retrieval of ethically sensitive information about human samples presents a special problem for research groups and institutions. This problem is addressed by providing a randomized identification of samples, which can only be decoded by providing two passwords: one from the researcher, and one from an Ethics Committee (Institutional Review Board) representative.
