Abstract: A computer-implemented method provides a requested medical data record to a receiving entity. The method includes receiving a set of medical data records and receiving or initiating a joint data index and, for each medical data record of the set, applying a plurality of hash functions to a patient identifier corresponding to the medical data record to determine a hash vector, the patient identifier corresponding to the medical data record identifying the patient being subject of the medical data record, and updating the joint data index based on the hash vector. Furthermore, it includes providing the joint data index to the receiving entity and receiving a request for a record, corresponding to a request patient identifier and being based on the joint data index, from the receiving entity. The method includes providing the requested medical data record to the receiving entity via a secure communication channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for establishing a secure connection between two electronic computing devices which are located in a network environment, the two electronic computing devices being a first computing device offering the connection and a second computing device designated to accept the connection, the method comprising executing, by at least one processor of at least one computer, a connection-establishing application for exchanging an information packet between the first computing device and the second computing device comprising a secret usable for establishing the connection, and evaluating a response from the second computing device for establishing the secure connection.
