How will privacy and security be handled?
. The key data in need of privacy protection is the identity of the individual. The Liberty Alliance, a consortium of leading companies and institutions committed to protecting individuals’ identity on the Internet while enabling them to conduct business and transactions, has defined technical protocols to do just that, through service providers known as “identity providers.” MEMRI will be a Liberty Alliance-compliant identity provider that establishes a “circle of trust” relationship with healthcare providers. A circle of trust will exist where MEMRI has established relationships with healthcare providers allowing the user to wield his/her MEMRI-based network identity with them.
