Security & Privacy

Healthcare networks and databases must be designed and managed to maintain the highest standards of security and privacy. Since developing the ARPANET more than forty-years ago, BBN has pioneered the development of privacy and security technologies.

BBN developed many of the security protocol standards now embodied in the Internet. BBN’s expert privacy-preserving computation guarantees privacy and security through the use of strong cryptography allowing entities with sensitive data to keep their information private and secure.

BBN’s security expertise can be applied to many healthcare applications, such as surveillance of inappropriate access to electronic medical records, access controls for safeguarding elements within an electronic medical record and biometrically secure controls for personal health record applications and patient portals.
