Encrypted Data Exporter

This tool allows the creation of a CD or DVD where all of the patient identifiable information has been encrypted using AES-256 encryption. The CD or DVD is encrypted using a "pass-phrase" chosen by the person writing the CD or DVD. This pass-phrase is then sent to the intended CD recipient.

The CD or DVD includes an application which (once the pass-phrase has been entered) allows the recipient to:

  • view images directly from the CD
  • extract the data to a folder on the local computer or network
  • extracted data in a format ready to be written to a second un-encrypted DICOM compliant CD or DVD
This software has been produced in line with current NHS guidelines to ensure that all patient data being transported elsewhere was done so in a secure manner.
