Implementation of privacy and security for a genomic information system based on standards
Genomic information is a very sensitive type of digital information as it not only applies to a person, but also to close relatives. Therefore, privacy provision is key to protecting genomic information from unauthorized access. It is worth noting that most of the current genomic information formats...

| Resumo: | Genomic information is a very sensitive type of digital information as it not only applies to a person, but also to close relatives. Therefore, privacy provision is key to protecting genomic information from unauthorized access. It is worth noting that most of the current genomic information formats do not provide specific mechanisms by which to secure the stored information. In order to solve, among other things, the privacy provision issue, we proposed the GIPAMS (Genomic Information Protection And Management System) modular architecture, which is based on the use of standards such as ISO/IEC 23092 and a few GA4GH (Global Alliance for Genomics and Health) initiatives. Some of the GIPAMS modules have already been implemented, mainly based on ISO/IEC 23092 features, and we are conducting work on the complete version of the architecture, and other standards are also considered. One of the objectives of GIPAMS is to enable the management of different formats of genomic information in a unique and interoperable way, providing privacy and security for formats that do not currently support them. |
