Abstract: 

In multi-institutional medical research, identity and access management is crucial because of the sensitiveness of the medical data which is made available to distinct stakeholders with unique interests residing in different administrative domains as well as countries. Identity and access management in such a setting is twofold and should provide access to federated medical data spread across multiple sites to medical professionals while at the same time protect the privacy of the patients – whose medical data is used for research purposes – by pseudonymization. This paper discusses the identity and access management approach developed in the @neurIST project which deals with the study and treatment of cerebral aneurysms. @neurIST aims at developing a decision support system and a research infrastructure that unites multiple medical institutions and service providers offering technical solutions based on the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm for treating and researching diseases. The system developed within @neurIST adopts claim-based security models to implement an efficient identity and access management for data access in the @neurIST service ecosystem and pseudonymization technologies to protect the patients' privacy.
