Secure Distribution of Diagnostic Data
CrossPort Remote is a portal for the distribution of diagnostic
data between remote sites. Cost effective DICOM communication
is possible across insecure networks without involving cumbersome
routines for either IT-personnel or staff. CrossPort Remote is
a real solution that is used daily by numerous healthcare facilities.
Security
A combination of protocols is used to enhance flexibility and
security. Prior to transfer the data is compressed, encrypted
and digitally signed. AES and RSA encryption techniques are used,
making the data useless to anyone other than the intended recipient.
Digital signatures ensure that the original data is unchanged
as well as authenticating the identity of the sender. The transfer
is achieved using standard Internet protocols e.g. FTP. All communication
is initiated from within the local networks therefore not compromising
strict security and firewall policies.
Traceability
Transaction history is logged by CrossPort Remote and presented
to the user in a web browser. Electronic delivery notes are returned
from recipients, allowing the sender to trace the transfer progress.
Receivers benefit by easily being able to identify the sender.
Compatibility
CrossPort Remote supports all types of DICOM storage for both
sending and receiving diagnostic data. DICOM objects such as images,
presentation states, structured reports or waveforms can all be
transferred using CrossPort Remote. From the users point-of-view
a remote destination is virtually another AE-Title.
