The Internet's World-Wide Web (WWW) provides an appealing medium for the communication of health related information due to its ease of use and growing popularity. But current technologies for communicating data between WWW clients and servers are systematically vulnerable to certain types of security threats. Prominent among these threats are "Trojan horse" programs running on client workstations, which perform some useful and known function for a user, while breaching security via background functions that are not apparent to the user. The Patient-Centered Access to Secure Systems Online (PCASSO) project of SAIC and UCSD is a research, development and evaluation project to exploit state-of-the-art security and WWW technology for health care. PCASSO is designed to provide secure access to clinical data for healthcare providers and their patients using the Internet. PCASSO will be evaluated for both safety and effectiveness, and may provide a model for secure communications via public data networks.
互联网的万维网（WWW）因其易用性和日益普及，为健康相关信息的传播提供了一个有吸引力的媒介。但是，当前用于在WWW客户端和服务器之间传输数据的技术在系统上容易受到某些类型的安全威胁。这些威胁中突出的是在客户端工作站上运行的“特洛伊木马”程序，这些程序为用户执行一些有用且已知的功能，同时通过用户不明显的后台功能破坏安全性。SAIC和UCSD的在线以患者为中心的安全系统访问（PCASSO）项目是一个利用先进安全和WWW技术用于医疗保健的研究、开发和评估项目。PCASSO旨在使用互联网为医疗保健提供者及其患者提供对临床数据的安全访问。PCASSO将在安全性和有效性方面进行评估，并可能为通过公共数据网络进行的安全通信提供一个模型。
