DICOM Encryption.

#1 Post by yusuke »

Hi,

HIPPA requires secure communication between hospital information systems.
So, communication between DICOM application need to be encrypted.

Is there any functions/classes which support DICOM ciphered communication?

Hi,

in DICOM TLS is used for secure transmission over the network.

In DCMTK, the dcmtls module implements TLS for DICOM (using OpenSSL for the TLS functionality).

The tools storescu and storescu from the dcmnet module can be used for testing, if DCMTK is compiled with OpenSSL support.

Best,
Michael

Hi Michael,

I need some info on how to pass DH parameter file to storescp when using DHE cipher suites.
Could you shed some light on the usage of +dp(--dhparam) parameter in storescp.
Also, please provide information on how to create a DH parameter file.
Further more, would also like to know if +dp is mandatory for using DHE cipher suites.

Thanks & Regards,
Amal

Hi Amal,

sorry, that's not really my area of expertise. Maybe my DCMTK collleague Marco could answer this.

Best,
Michael
