Discussion

HIAWG Deliverable
Discussion 7 November 2013
  • Update from Terry - same place as last meeting - the draft is in circulation
    • To make progress, HIAWG needs more clarity on the rationale for creating this study from the Sponsors (Pete and Joni have this task)
  • Terry: called for volunteers to help with parts of the study that could be drafted while waiting for Sponsor direction
  • Rich: has reviewed the draft and submitted comments - will send to Terry directly
  • Pete: met with Joni to gain clarity on the purpose of the study
    • HIAWG needs some assurance that the organizations under the MOU will accept the results
    • Joni is reaching out to Kantara Board, DirectTrust and EHNAC to engage and work out material to help justify volunteers providing their time
  • Verizon's perspective - how can appropriate use cases be created for FICAM non-PKI credentials and Federal Bridge PKI credentials?
  • The work effort for PKI v non-PKI will be different (PKI might be easier because its closer to DirectTrust)
    • There are common functions between PKI v non-PKI e.g. Identity Proofing
  • Pete: note that 800-63-2 was built to enact Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 - purely for Federal Agencies - the correct reference for this is FICAM
  • Andrew asked for a description of the overlap/commonality between Kantara IAF (non-PKI) and DTAAP (PKI)
  • DTAPP is specific to DirectTrust requirements
    • It encompasses the DT Certificate Policy
  • Verizon is looking at the DT Registration Authority - this probably has the most ability to crosswalk to FICAM/Kantara
    • CA requirements - not so - these are the PKI
  • DirectTrust did reference FICAM and Kantara for the RA requirements on the Identity Proofing side
    • There are a few different aspects e.g. Organization Level certificates
    • Other Health IT/ HIPAA Policy aspects relative to Covered Entity status and other specific role types
  • Verizon is working hard to meet these requirements - especially verification of Organization Identities - this is novel in Direct
  • HISP, RA, CA are the three DTAPP accreditations
    •  Much of the HISP criteria relate to the separation of Direct messaging from 'normal' email
    • But the EMR vendors don't use that workflow - the users have a common inbox - this is why Organization Certs came to exist - the S/MIME endpoint is at the Organization level
  • Under MU2 there are 2 years to conform - to be able send a certain volume of messages using Direct Protocol
  • NOTE: the Direct Protocol only deals with encrypting and signing of Direct messaging - not with user->system authentication
  • The individual user still needs to authenticate to the EMR system - might be 2 Factor deployment
  • Clients are struggling with deploying to large numbers of individuals - there are many different solutions that need to be unified or harmonized
    • This is an issue that will have to be dealt with - general consensus that this should be in scope now or soon. Since patients need to access data under MU2.
  • Pete: how do we get Kantara's HIAWG work in front of the official ONC Security and Privacy Standards or Policy Committee to influence MU3 criteria
    • Bill: has some touch points into several groups (Joy Pritz - Privacy officer for ONC)
    • Andrew: who sits on the Standards and Policy Committees?
  • ACTION: Pete will seek out a list of participants
  • ACTION: Rich will locate the Terms of Reference for the various committees
  • ONC has directed Industry to come up with Governance model to meet the Privacy and Security needs - that's what drove DirectTrust in part
