Privacy in medical emergency system: cryptographic and security aspects

Multilevel security is very important in Medical Emergency System MES since a database contained information with a variety of secret data. Information security was traditionally achieved by the use of encryption of data, but several stored and transmitted data in existing MES are not encrypted...
