Abstract
[en] A7 Software is currently working on Andaman7 (see www.andaman7.com ), a mobile application allowing to create, manage and share electronic health records1 to improve collaboration between doctors and patients. It is composed of client applications running on mobile devices and a back end server written in Java, responsible for synchronizing data between them. Andaman7 for iPad was launched recently on the AppStore.
We are willing to design, implement and deploy a PKI on our server, allowing client applications to encrypt end-to-end their medical data exchanges as well as messaging system data. The private and public keys will be generated on client-side and the server will be responsible for distributing and certifying the public keys. In order to minimize the traffic between clients and server, an algorithm similar to PGP will be used to achieve the asymmetric encryption/decryption.
Furthermore, we would like to develop a messaging system integrated with Andaman7 allowing users to securely send messages to each other. Users will be able to invite or block others. Notifications will inform users who receive a message or an invitation. The new messaging system will have to respect the current Andaman7 architecture and concepts.
