Secure Transmission of the Prescription Order Communication System Based on the Internet and the Public-Key Infrastructure Using

This research paper presents a new system's design and development of the prescription order communication system (POCS) based on the Internet between the hospital and the pharmacy, on the public-key infrastructure, and on the concurrently parallel co-operation with both medical professional's and patient's smart cards in the 2-way type terminal under the synchronized status. Concurrently parallel co-operation method at the synchronized status has been proposed in order to merge the digital signature generated by a medical professional with a patient's prescription data. The digital signatures written by the medical doctors and pharmacists holding and using their individually master smart cards are applied to all contents of the prescription stored on a patient's slave smart card at the synchronized status in the 2-way type terminal. Therefore, digital signatures for all prescriptions stored on the smart card in the developed prototype system should effectivel...
