Abstract

EUROMED-ETS was an one-year project supported by the European Commission (INFOSEC programme, DGXIII). Its goal was to secure telemedicine applications over the world wide web (WWW). The solution proposed and adopted during this project was based on the establishment of trusted third party services (TTPS) based on secure session layer (SSL). This solution was demonstrated and validated using an existing telemedicine platform. In this paper, the proposed solution will be presented, the specifications of the test bed will be provided and the pilot operation will be described. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
