Security testing of network applications is an essential task that must be carried out prior to the release of software to the market. Since factors such as time-to-market constraints limit the scope or depth of the testing, it is difficult to carry out exhaustive testing prior to the release of the software. As a consequence, flaws may remain undiscovered by the software vendor, which may be discovered by those of malicious intent. In this paper, we report the results of an empirical evaluation of applying a security testing approach and framework, previously tested in an academic setting, to the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA R ) protocol as implemented by the IBM R DB2 R Database for Linux R , Unix R , and Windows R product.
Personal Health Record (PHR) systems provide patients with access to their own records, as well as control over who accesses their record. There are many PHR system providers available on the market. These PHR systems, however, have little means to integrate with healthcare facilities in the healthcare system network. This paper proposes a Personal Health Record (PHR) system solution which allows for exchange of patient data at the point-of-care using the patient's mobile device. The objective is to outline and address the issues that arise when adopting an hybrid PHR architecture that comprises a mobile component and an online remote server component. Preliminary tests are conducted in order to assess the system's usability.
Advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have enabled the provisioning of more cost-efficient means of delivering healthcare services through electronic healthcare systems (e-health). However, these solutions have constrained the mobility of medical professionals as well as patients. Mobile devices have been sought as a potential solution to free medical professionals and patients from mobility constraints. This chapter discusses the literature proposed in multimedia data transfer and retrieval, utilizing mobile devices and a multitude of wireless access technologies. A background section presents the different software technologies utilized by the proposed work, as well as a literature review. Following that, the authors compare these proposed systems and discuss issues and controversies found in these proposed systems, as well as propose means to address some of these issues. They conclude with an overall conclusion and outline future directions in this field.
