| Abstract | In Europe, the use of computers in health care industry has increased rapidly in recent years. This increase, however, has been accomplished with research efforts in the area of privacy and confidentiality of personal data. In the German legislation, protection of personal data is guaranteed by the constitution, granting a general right to privacy. This constitutional right has been amended by the German Central Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht). It says that each individual has the right to decide to whom and where he wants to give personal information.In the US, similar problems of granting privacy and confidentiality of sensitive medical data will emerge. The Clinton administration's health plan has led to a discussion on privacy and data protection in the US. If that health plan is realised, it will lead to an exchange of personal medical data over data-highways.In this paper, we will describe a prototype implementation of a secure hospital environment offering the basic functionality that is necessary for secure medical information storage and exchange inside a hospital computer network and the secure exchange of medical information over publicly accessible networks between different security domains. The functionality and security requirements have been derived in cooperation with a large university hospital in Germany, the University Hospital Freiburg. The relevant technical solution has been developed jointly by the IBM European Networking Center in Heidelberg and the Institute for Computing and Society University Freiburg. This paper will focus on the technical solutions to provide the needed functionality.The main topics of this paper will be the security services granted, especially the role-based Access Control as well as the storage and retrieval of the Privilege Attributes (ECMA-138) for the various users. We shall describe how the Directory Service (X.500) is used for storage, retrieval and management of organizational structure information as well as for the dynamic handling of user roles and Privilege Attributes Certificates according to the suggestions of ECMA-138.As a result, it can be shown that the security services and architectures currently under standardization are capable of providing sufficient security mechanisms. They also provide the flexibility necessary for the adoption to environments that deal with highly sensitive data even in a distributed applications environment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
