“…S/MIME has been used in several commercial health care networks for communication of medical documents in the form of cryptographically signed S/MIME email messages [3]. S/MIME is one of the standards that is also used to ensure the compliancy and scalability options are being met while securing transactions services for wired and wireless devices [4]. Some attentions to adopt these protocols in healthcare area is developed by the security model to secure the EMR transactions [5].…”

Security of Electronic medical records is one of the everyday concerns to the decision makers, governmental agencies, researchers and medical centres. Several funding agencies spend thousands or millions dollars to initiate new project aims to preserve the privacy of the patients and maintain the confidentiality of the EMR, the results of these projects developed several EMR security solutions. However, there are several (well-designed and standardized) security solutions developed for other applications such OpenPGP and S/MIME protocols that were originally developed for Email. OpenPGP and S/MIME protocols employ different architecture and algorithms to secure the email transmission. In this paper, a systematic review and analysis of both protocols OpenPGP and S/MIME is done. The result of analysis depicted that, the adoption of both protocols is applicable. In addition some suggestions are proposed to integrate different medical centres in order to achieve secure message exchange.
