Method for context specific remote data access authentication. e.g. for controlling access to patient medical records by ensuring that both doctor and patient must be present to access patient records with their access chip cards

摘要

Method for controlling access to electronically stored data in distributed heterogeneous environments in which data access is only granted when two or more persons are present to authorize the access. A third position for access testing is connected between data access and data storage positions for testing authorization of persons requiring access by use of public and private key cryptography. The inventive method relates to medical and other areas where encrypted data is used. The invention relates particularly to accessing of patient records. Thus both a patient and doctor must be present with their own access chip card between medical records can be accessed.
