As highly sensitive patient information provides a promising goal for attackers and is also demanded by insurance companies and employers, there is an increasing social and political pressure regarding the prevention of health data misuse.

Therefore, PIPE provides a solution to shortcomings of existing approaches. Our approach may be used as a basis for implementing secure EHR architectures or as an extension to existing systems.
