Abstract

The paper presents an original approach for organizing a network that allows hospital actors to manage and have access to databases remotely and in a secure manner. The architecture, based on the concepts of SONA (Service Oriented Network Architecture) is designed taken into consideration some important characteristics: scalability, integration with other existing hospital networks, remote and secure resource access, user friendliness, and complete data security. This was achieved using two main approaches. The first one was concerned with internal security, being implemented through user permissions and smartcard token based authentication. The second approach was concerned with attacks originated outside the network. In order to prevent system penetrations or data interception VPN tunnels and traffic filters were configured at the edge of each structural component.
