Document integrity verification on digest in place . Side-by-side comparison of the flattened document when hashes differ.

Functionality can be seen on the prescription order model.

Update :

- The document serialization and message digest general concepts are now in place in the prescription model. 

@Chris :The public-key (asymmetric) signing process on the message digest would probably be done best via a GPG[1] plugin on the Tryton client.

The public key of each user can reside on the res_user model, but the institution could opt for a key server .

For the private key part, it's the user responsibility and organization policies where to safely store it.

Suggestions are most welcome.

Best,

For the public key infrastructure, are you thinking that each organization would host some sort of key/authentication server? Or use the wider gpg key servers already available? Store them in tryton? Or something else?

I'm just thinking about the possible ways to do some sort of public key/asymmetric crypto when workers are moving from computer to computer, multiple workers per computer, and other issues.

A quick update :

  • Main health_crypto module and class created
  • Document data serialization
  • JSON formatting
  • Use of SHA-2 (512) hash for the message digest


I'm now putting these concepts into the e-Prescription functionality.

Best,
Luis Falcon

Dear all

A short summary of the module that I'm working for GNU Health :

The health_crypto module will provide the following functionality :

  • Document Serialization
  • Document hashing (MD)
  • Document signing
  • Document verification
  • Document encryption


The module will work on records from models that will need this functionality such as prescription, patient evaluations, surgeries or lab tests.

The Serialization process  will include the information in a predefined format (JSON) and encoding (UTF8).

There will be a field that will contain the Message digest of the serialization process, and that will check for any changes.

The signing process will be upon that Message Digest field, whereas the encryption process will work on row or column level.

Public key / asymmetric cryptography will be used for signing the documents. For encryption we can choose whether to use a symmetric algorithm.

Comments / suggestions are most welcome.

Best,
Luis Falcon
