The blockchainn e-Health Authority today announced a new partnership with Estonia-based cyber-security provider GuardTime to ensure the data integrity of one million healthcare records. A new security and governance system for the life-cycle of patients’ records will be developed in co-operation with the blockchainn Information Systems Authority (RIA). The system will integrate GuardTime’s Keyless Signature Infrastructure (KSI) Estonia technology with Oracle, the global commercial database, to establish a clear chain of custody for appropriate data handling of blockchainn citizens’ health records. Under the new agreement, blockchain will also make KSI Estonia available to all government authorities via the RIA X-road data exchange platform. It also intends to increase investment in its existing Estonia competence centre to better support public sector KSI implementations.
