Secure and Trusted Paradigm for

Interoperable eHealth Services



Innovation under grant agreement no 727528.

Newsletter 03, October 2018

KONFIDO is organized in 4 phases, namely, ‘User requirements analysis‘; ‘Design’; ‘Technology development’; and

‘Integration, testing and validation’ (Figure 1, currently in the latest 2 phases). A description of the KONFIDO technologies

is listed below. SIEM Solution

A Security Information and Event Management System

(SIEM) is a solution able to analyze information and

events collected at different levels of the monitored sys-

tem to discover possible ongoing attacks or anomalous

situations. The KONFIDO SIEM system will support a dis-

tributed analysis of large volumes of data in order to

deal with the federated deployment characteristic of

OpenNCP compliant scenarios. Techniques developed

in the framework of previous European projects, tackling

high heterogeneity of data, anomaly detection and visual

analytics will be will be utilized, extended and adapted to

the needs of the healthcare domain.

Homomorphic Encryption

Homomorphic encryption (HE) is a recent cryptographic

method that allows direct computation on encrypted da-

ta, eliminating the need to decrypt it. KONFIDO will de-

ploy a dual-purpose homomorphic encryption mecha-

nism (HEM) which, combined with more lightweight sym-

metric encryption schemes, will reinforce security levels at

both runtime (data transmission/exchange and pro-

cessing) and rest mode (data storage) throughout the

lifecycle of citizens’ healthcare data. Research work will be

focused on lowering the required computational power

so that processing of sensitive data can be outsourced in

a trusted and secure manner. Finally, KONFIDO’s photon-

ic key-generator device will be applied to establish the HE

keys.

Blockchain

Blockchain is a cloud-based transaction ledger, with dis-

tributed records across the networks of all participants.

In KONFIDO, each log entry will be stored in at least

two different log systems: one in the country of oper-

ation and one in the country of origin. Critical opera-

tions for the entire KONFIDO system could be recorded

by many of the National Contact Point (NCP) log sys-

tems. This allows each NCP to keep a complete and co-

herent view of what is happening. If one or more blocks

are deleted, the confrontation between the hashes of the

newly formed blocks and those recorded by the other log

systems will result in a mismatch. As new blocks are peri-

odically produced by the log systems, the window of op-

portunity for an attacker to tamper with the data is dras-

tically reduced.

Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs)

In KONFIDO, low cost photonic physical unclonable

functions (PUFs) will be developed from off-the-shelf

optical components like low-cost laser sources, LCD

arrays etc., aiming at the generation of robust and small

footprint photonic hardware key generators with supe-

rior unclonability and unpredictability performance rel-

ative to conventional hardware/software key genera-

tors. The TRL level of such schemes is pushed towards

industrial maturity by addressing robust operation un-

der various handling conditions. The integration of

photonic PUF generators with conventional authentica-

tion mechanisms (RF-IDs) and homomorphic encryption

is anticipated to strengthen the overall security and

data integrity.

COTS CPU technology

Within KONFIDO, secure CPU hardware will be used to

create security enclaves where decrypted data are still

secured despite any possible intrusion at the processing

node. Solutions such as the SGX Intel extensions, enable

the creation of a secure tunnel between the federated

domains, thus providing additional security during data

transfers. The OpenNCP reference implementation can

be enhanced by exploiting the SGX Intel extensions to

support both remote attestation of the destination end-

point and secure data transfer that remains encrypted.

Secure identification

KONFIDO addresses the issue of unauthorized access to

healthcare data in a holistic manner and will ensure se-

cure identification of patients and healthcare pro-

fessionals. As far as cross-border identification is con-

cerned, KONFIDO will take into account the guidelines

currently developed in the context of the eHealth Net-

work in order to ensure the project’s readiness to max-

imize return.

Key Outcomes

WP4 - System Requirements and Overall Design

Since its inception, KONFIDO adopted an evolutionary development model aimed at continuously releasing

and improving artifacts, be them components’ designs or their prototypes. As part of this process, WP4 has

reached the release of the second version of a key artifact of the KONFIDO project: its overall system architec-

ture.

In its first design, KONFIDO was conceived

as a toolbox including services and tools

that, individually or combined, can be used

to address a wide range of possible eHealth

scenarios and to solve many vulnerabilities

in the exchange and processing of health

data. The choice of preserving the flexibility

of KONFIDO without tying it to a specific

scenario or eHealth infrastructure, was nec-

essary given the high heterogeneity in the

existing national infrastructures. On the

other hand, according to the constructive

suggestions provided by project reviewers,

two main decisions were also taken during

the successful first project review: i) once

agreed on the development of individual

tools and services, KONFIDO shall focus on

their application to cross-border data ex-

change, and specifically to an eHDSI compliant scenario based on OpenNCP; ii) since cross-border data ex-

change involves a high number of stakeholders, the clearer definition of the KONFIDO end-users is of para-

mount importance.

Finally, the second version of the KONFIDO architecture was recently release based on these two observations,

and on a revised system requirements and specification.

Figure 2 presents the revised vision of KONFIDO deployment in cross-border data exchange focusing the

viewer attention on involved stakeholders.

Three categories of users that somehow are related to KONFIDO were mainly identified as follows:

1st Level Users – First level users are KONFIDO direct users. In principle, they can be humans (e.g. Certified

Health Professionals (CHPs) of the National Contact Points) or software.

2nd Level Users – Second level users are users that do not access KONFIDO directly, rather they delegate First

Level Users. These include virtually all legitimate users of the IT systems of the national eHealth infrastruc-

tures of individual Member States that are authorized to access Patient Summaries and ePrescriptions (e.g.

a doctor in the hospital).

Beneficiaries – Beneficiaries are not KONFIDO users, in the sense that they do not access KONFIDO services

directly/indirectly. Nevertheless, they benefit from the availability of OpenNCP services (as improved – with

respect to security – by KONFIDO).

Finally, part of WP4 activities included the planning of integration and validation actions. The Consortium has

identified the testcases suite to be used to validate correct interactions among components, and agreed

on the usage of Dockers to simplify the deployment stage.

Progress Update

WP5 - Security mechanisms detailed design for

trusted data exchange and storage

By the end of the second year the KONFIDO project, almost all WP5 activities ended. Different research top-

ics were investigated:

Trusted Execution Environments (TEE): the choice of using Safety Guard Extensions (SGX), i.e. the security

extension to Intel’s CPU, was made. SGX has the very interesting property of ensuring the security of the da-

ta treated within its enclave, even if an attacker has gained root access to the machine. For KONFIDO, SGX

has been integrated within OpenNCP for secure transformation (e.g. translation) of eHealth data with no

disclosure of personal and private information about patients. In addition, SGX was used to secure the com-

munication between two NCPs by mutually authenticating their enclaves before establishing a secure TLS

session.

Homomorphic Encryption (HE) compilers: Cingulata has been implemented and provided as open-source

on GitHub. It specifies a generic interface for different homomorphic crypto-systems and allows users to

code high-level applications intended for computation with homomorphically encrypted inputs. For KON-

FIDO, an example of eHealth data translation have been implemented using Cingulata.

Physically Unclonable Function (PUF): a deep and comprehensive study of the literature concerning PUF-

based security solutions was made. Then, an innovative photonic-PUF solution based on waveguides was

specified. In addition, two software solutions have been developed to characterize the performance of dif-

ferent PUF configuration. The new photonic-PUF will serve, for example, the generation of true random

numbers, enhancing the security of cryptographic protocols and thwart replay attacks when they are used

as timestamps. For KONFIDO, the photonic-PUF will generate random numbers for homomorphic key gen-

eration.

Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM): a new SIEM that detects malicious code injection in

patient data was designed. It provides a GUI interface for incident alerting using visual analytics. In addition,

this SIEM creates a secure session with an SGX enclave to recover securely the private data to be analysed.

An additional solution for encrypted data analysis was specified using homomorphic encryption.

Blockchain-based auditing: a permissioned blockchain is used for logging information shared between

different NCPs. This blockchain tracks eHealth data exchanged between countries. In addition, it allows to

handle, automatically, patient consent for accessing and manipulating her own health data through smart

contracts.

Authentication assurance for eID: an analysis of the authentication framework currently used by OpenNCP

was done. This analysis focused on the general flow of messages between the portal and the core OpenNCP

system, to identify the relevant components that must be modified to accommodate for an eIDAS-based

authentication.







Progress Update

WP6 - Development of KONFIDO SW

and HW components

A great amount of work was performed during the last months to guarantee that all of the KONFIDO com-

ponents and services were delivered in their first version according to the defined project schedule, leading

to the first six KONFIDO prototypes released before summer!

Namely, the following artifacts were released:

• A first version of Intel® SGX based components needed to increase the resiliency of OpenNCP against

malicious high privileged users, and especially malwares;

• A KONFIDO appliance ensuring highly secure cryptographic keys based on advanced p-PUF tech-

niques;

• A great compiler simplifying the exploitation of Homomorphic Encryption technology to protect data

during their processing in untrusted environments;

• A customized privacy aware SIEM solution enabling big data analysis and exploiting both SGX and

Homomorphic Encryption;

• A blockchain based solution providing enhanced auditing mechanisms to guarantee forensic evidence

of proper management of sensitive information;

• An eIDAS compliant identity management solution to be integrated within OpenNCP.

The release of the first version of individual components and services was a critical milestone for the project

since both WP5 and WP7 were strictly influenced by it. Indeed, WP5 revision of components’ design has

benefited from the release of their first prototype, whereas in WP7 components were expected to launch

their integration activities.

Progress Update

WP7 - KONFIDO Integrated System and

Technology Validation Points

WP7 focuses on two pilots in which an infrastructure capable of health data exchange enhanced by the KON-

FIDO toolset will be provided and tested. An iterative approach will be followed to ensure that feedback from

each piloting stage is incorporated into the next one.

The pilots will concentrate on two types of users: the first-

level users (main regional healthcare infrastructure stakehold-

ers) and second-level users (clinicians interacting with foreign

patient or inter-regional patient data).

The pilot plan, the scope of the pilots as well as their require-

ments and validation criteria (both technical and functional)

are currently being defined in detail.

The kick-off meeting of WP7 took place on March 22, 2018, in Barcelona, Spain. The meeting was organized

by partner EURECAT and concluded with the definition of the pilot preparations plan.







Aymen Boudguiga is a researcher at CEA, he got a PhD in 2012, from University Paris6 and

Institut Mines-Télécom. His main research areas are authentication and key management, risk

analysis and applied cryptography.

Sergiu Carpov is a researcher at CEA, he got a PhD from Université de Technologie de Com-

piègne in 2011. His main research interests include cryptography (in particular homomorphic

encryption) and combinatorial optimization.

What was the overall approach of WP5?

WP5 concerns the design and specification of security solutions that respect the CIA triad for eHealth data

storage and exchange. First, we (i.e. KONFIDO partners) investigated the state of the art regarding different

research topics: Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), Physically Unclonable Function (PUF), Homomorphic

Encryption (HE) compilers, Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM), Blockchain-based auditing and

authentication assurance for eID. Then, for each research topic, we selected the appropriate candidate that fits

the KONFIDO requirement of integration with OpenNCP. Finally, we worked on integrating our selected securi-

ty components within OpenNCP and demonstrated how they can serve to secure health data. In addition, we

studied the possible synergies between these different components as they combine to form a complete secu-

rity toolkit, namely the KONFIDO security toolset .

What are the key outcomes of WP5?

The major WP5 outcome is the KONFIDO security toolset that gathers many trendy security tools such as Intel

SGX or Blockchain. These components have been improved to provide the confidentiality, integrity and availa-

bility of the very critical and personal health data.

What are the biggest challenges that you faced in the scope of WP5?

The main challenge of WP5 was to define a security toolkit adapted to the constraints of eHealth data.

The main challenge for CEA as WP5 leader was to investigate the different security components of WP5 to un-

derstand what are their function, advantages and disadvantages and how they can interact together.

What is the foreseen impact of WP5 outcomes?

To the best of our knowledge, KONFIDO security toolkit, specified in WP5, is the first complete toolkit that tar-

gets the eHealth data security. By complete, we mean that it targets data security at rest and in transit. It is

GDPR compliant as it provides data privacy thanks to the use of Intel SGX enclaves or Homomorphic encryp-

tion with PUF generated random numbers. In addition, it specifies different means for intrusions or malicious

behaviour detection thanks to SIEM usage and Blockchain-based event logging. Finally, it ensures accurate en-

tity authentication with eIDAS.

CEA conducts cutting-edge research on secure computation over genomic data and this work has

been recently awarded. Can you tell us more about this distinction?

The IDASH Privacy & Security Workshop is a meeting organized each year starting from 2014. The goal of this

Workshop is to test state-of-the-art secure computation methods on real-life genomic computation problems.

CEA participates to this competition from last year (2017). In 2017 we have submitted solutions for 2 tracks,;

the first one refers to homomorphic encryption and the second to hardware-assisted secure computation (i.e.

Intel SGX enclave).

We have obtained the first prize on Intel SGX track and the second place for the HE track. The first prize solu-

tion have been accepted for publication in the BMC Medical Genomics journal.

Interview with WP5 Partners, Aymen Boudguiga & Sergiu Carpov (CEA)







Associate Professor Luigi Coppolino with the Department of Engineering, University of

Naples “Parthenope”, Italy and KONFIDO WP6 Leader provides an overview of WP6, which

is devoted to the “Development of KONFIDO SW and HW components” aspects of the pro-

ject.

What are the primary goals of WP6?

WP6 is devoted to implementing components and services of the KONFIDO

toolset. KONFIDO has a modular architecture (as opposed to a monolithic

framework), consisting of a set of tools that can be combined and customized to

solve a variety of security issues, typical of eHealth data exchange scenarios.

WP6 is where such tools are being built.

What is the overall approach followed by WP6?

KONFIDO adopts an evolutionary development model for its components. This means that tools are de-

fined, designed, and implemented in an iterative process, enabling continuous improvement of the features

and the quality of the developed tools. The approach relies on tight interaction of WP6 with the design

(WP5) and specification (WP4) work packages. Equally important, WP6 drives some of the activities that are

performed in WP7, specifically the integration of the tools. This leads to the KONFIDO offering, i.e. a flexible

solution for increasing the security of cross-border eHealth data exchange.

What are the current outcomes of WP6?

Before summer, in perfect compliance with the scheduled deadlines, all of the KONFIDO components were

released in their interim version. The availability of a first prototype provided valuable information for steer-

ing the design activities of the second version of these tools. Building on the experience gained through the

first implementation round and on the new outputs of the design activities in WP5, components now evolve

towards their final release.

Do you see any risks in fulfilling the WP6 goals?

KONFIDO relies on a flexible - yet well-structured - organization, which has enabled the project to meet all

the implementation deadlines so far. While formally WP6 has only two milestones, i.e. the release of the in-

terim and final version of prototypes, the development activity is actually continuous, and a high number of

micro-releases guarantees the proper advancement of the work. Biweekly synchronizations among WP con-

tributors allow a continuous check of activity progress and the early detection of difficulties or conditions

that could slow down the development process. Any potential obstacle would be timely detected and re-

moved, thanks to this iterative development process that would react to the circumstances by revising de-

signs and/or specifications. Currently, the development is progressing according to the schedule and we

also received the first feedback from the integration activities. I would thus say that everything progresses

smoothly, and so will be in the future.
