Crypto model in iCure

Lexic

• "ABCD" is a non encrypted key (uuid, ...)
• {AB} is the encryption key of the pair AB, where hcParty A gives delegation to hcParty B. The encryption key is stored encrypted in the hcPartyKeys of hcParty A document (see below)
• <ABCD>_{AB} is the key ABCD encrypted with encryption key {AB}
• <{AB}>_{A} is the encryption key {AB} encrypted with the public key of hcParty A

The encryption keys are stored in the hcParty document that gives delegation to other user, since only the user can modify his hcParty document in CouchDB. The hcParty B needs to access the hcParty A document to decrypt (with his private key) the encryption key {AB} stored in the field hcPartyKeys.

## HCP A ##
hcPartyKeys: {
   A: [ <{AA}>_{A}, <{AA}>_{A} ]
   B: [ <{AB}>_{A}, <{AB}>_{B} ]
}

Document type relations

## Patient 1234 ##
ID: "1234"
Delegations: { A->A: <ABCD>_{AA}, A->B: <ABCD>_{AB} }
EncryptionKeys: { A->A: <DCBA>_{AA}, A->B: <DCBA>_{AB} }

## Contact 4567 ##
ID: "4567"
SecretForeignKeys: [ "ABCD" ]
CryptedForeignKeys: { A->A: <1234>_{AA}, A->B: <1234>_{AB} }
EncryptionKeys: { A->A: <EFGH>_{AA}, A->B: <EFGH>_{AB} }

The delegations of the patient document store the encrypted secretForeignKeys that you find in clear in the contact document. And allows, once decrypted, to find the contacts of a patient.

On the other side, the cryptedForeignKeys of the contact document allows, once decrypted, to find the corresponding patient document.

The encryptionKeys of a document are used to encrypt the content of the corresponding document. As for the delegations, the document encryption keys are stored encrypted with the encryption keys {AA}, {AB}, ...

The healthElement documents are linked to patient documents in the same way as the contact. This means that the healthElement documents have also SecretForeignKeys and CryptedForeignKeys, beside the encryptionKeys.

Delegations

• Delegations === encrypted foreign key of all patient icureStoredDocument => it makes the link from a patient to a storedDocument
• CryptedForeignKeys === encrypted patient.ID => it makes the link from a storedDocument to a patient
• EncryptionKeys === encrypted encryptionKey (probably symmetric)

Multi profession

Contacts and delegations need to be segmented. => need to have segmented auto-delegations
