Introduction of a security system based on fingerprint authentication, a encipherment device and virtual private network (VPN) technology

Abstract

 Security enhancement for access to patient information in the Tokyo Medical University network system was introduced to consolidate a secure remote medical research and information access system.

 Fingerprint authentication and encipherment devices were installed in high-speed digital (HSD) circuit connecting the four facilities.

 Data encipherment by virtual private network (VPN) technology based on a point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP) was also performed by specially developed in software.

 Introduction of a onetime password system using an IC card is being considered candidate for future development plans.
