Popis: There is an inherent conflict between the desire to maintain privacy of one's medical records and the need to make those records available during an emergency. To satisfy both objectives, we introduce a flexible architecture for the secure storage of medical records on smart phones. In our system, a person can view her records at any time, and emergency medical personnel can view the records as long as the person is present (even if she is unconscious). Our solution allows for efficient revocation of access rights and is robust against adversaries who can access the phone's storage offline.
