Scope
This part of ISO/TS 17090 defines the basic concepts of a healthcare public key infrastructure (PKI) and provides a scheme of interoperability requirements to establish a PKI enabled secure communication of health information. It also identifies the major stakeholders who are communicating in health, as well as the main security services required for health communication where PKI may be required.
This part of ISO/TS 17090 gives a brief introduction to public key cryptography and the basic components of a healthcare PKI.
