Community Activity: Security and Privacy Needs of Health Grids
Monday, 03-October 11:00a – 7:30p
Dave Angulo, DePaul University
Vincent Breton, PCSV Group, France
Abbas Farazdel, IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences, USA

We are exploring privacy and security needs of the health care industry. The focus question is whether GGF is developing enough middleware tools so that users of grid technology in this industry are able to comply with many required security, privacy, and confidentiality guidelines and policies.

Synopsis:
1. In accordance with our Charter, we are exploring privacy and security needs of the health care industry. The focus question is whether GGF is developing enough middleware tools so that users of grid technology in this industry are able to comply with many required security, privacy, and confidentiality guidelines and policies.
2. We invite speakers with backgrounds in healthcare and/or security and privacy issues as well as somebody to represent GGF SEC Area. The workshop starts with the invited talks and Q&A session and ends with a “roundtable” discussion focused on our objectives.
3. The deliverable of the workshop is an Informational Document addressing the issues of security and privacy in healthcare industry and how it relates or challenges GGF.
4. We are building up to jointly preparing a Requirements Document for Health Care Security and Privacy that will be used to start a working group in this area or will be used by one or more of the GGF security research groups or working groups.

Prerequisites:
Participants should have read the presentations at the LSG-RG workshops at GGF 13 and GGF 14. https://forge.gridforum.org/docman2/ViewCategory.php?group_id=39&category_id=85

Publication Plans --- We have published the proceeding of LSG’s previous workshop in a special issue of the New Generation Computing Journal which is supposedly equivalent to GGF Information Document. We are working on obtaining a GGF publication number for this issue. We will pursue publication of this workshop in a journal, but publish an information document as fallback plans.

We have a commitment from New Generation Computing Journal to have a special issue on Health Care Security and Privacy in the July, 2006 issue. We are working on plans for this and will send out the call for papers in December, 2005.

Finally, we have formed a subcommittee with a subcommittee chair to coordinate publications of each workshop.
