J Med Syst. 2016 May;40(5):119. doi: 10.1007/s10916-016-0470-0. Epub 2016 Mar 24.

Abstract

This study is showing the advantage of mobile agents to conquer heterogeneous system environments and contribute to a virtual integrated sharing system. Mobile agents will collect medical information from each medical institution as a method to achieve the medical purpose of data sharing. Besides, this research also provides an access control and key management mechanism by adopting Public key cryptography and Lagrange interpolation. The safety analysis of the system is based on a network attacker's perspective. The achievement of this study tries to improve the medical quality, prevent wasting medical resources and make medical resources access to appropriate configuration.

Keywords: Access control; Key management; Lagrange interpolation; Medical information system; Mobile agent.
