Use of Security Labels

From email discussion between Kathleen and John -- Summary by John

The FHIR community is unclear on how how to use the security-labels. When is it appropriate to use each type. Where is it appropriate to use each type? Specifically what are the risks they need to consider.

I agree with this.. This is hardly understood by the core people in the security wg... I am however concerned at declaring any specific policy -- such as the sensitivity codes shall never be used.

Seems we could create a few scenarios that outline proper use, and include description of the security considerations that went into that use.

1) Use of HCS tags within a highly-trusted environment (All inside my security boundary, within my own trust environment. my own trust framework). -- This is minimally use between the Access Control services and the REST server, including use of an SLS to enable access control decisions. I could see this highly-trusted environment being bigger than this, but think that most people need to understand that exposing the full HCS security-labels does present a risk.

2) Exposure of Resources to a Moderate-Trusted environment (They are outside my security boundary, but we have a trust framework that assures me they can protect sensitive information and follow obligations) -- the HIE environment. As you say, where _confidentiality and obligations. This is where we can talk to Bundle being a high-water, of only the _confidentiality codes; and where obligations would go.

2.1 ) The placement of obligations seems important enough that we should have a specific scenario just for that, so as to highlight it.

3 ) Having a USA specific example using 42 would be useful too. This is a rollup of all the things we want to say. I think it is okay to be USA centric, but when we do this we should explain the situation in terms that are not overly USA centric.

4) Use of HCS tags when in a low-trusted environment (I trust they will not expose what I give them, but they have limited ability to protect highly sensitive information or to enforce obligations) -- Where you are going to block access to anything sensitive. Showing that blocking access might be silent, or might be explicit (we have outlined this in the http error codes for security). Both are useful policy choices.

4.1 ) do we include your concern around returning obligations only when you KNOW that the recipient will enforce them? It needs to be said somewhere. Here might be good place.

5) Always good to remind people that they are not to expose information when the trust is not there.

Not sure if it is proper to use highly-trusted, moderate-trusted, and low-trusted -- I think the trust framework is key

is this what you are proposing? Did I miss a concept? I think this would be a good discussion today.

Minutes

  • John chair
  • Roll;
  • approval of agenda -- Glen/Alex: 5-0-0
  • approval of the HL7 FHIR Security 2017-01-31 Minutes -- Glen/Suzanne: 5-0-0
  • All security open http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/project/fhir/tracker/?action=TrackerItemBrowse&tracker_id=677&tracker_query_id=4967
  • Discussion - Problems with roles -- http://lists.hl7.org/read/messages?id=308629
    • Security use of actor.role is as defined by security standards. It includes Structural and Functional role
    • Provenance and AuditEvet have element to record the actual role that authorized the activity. This is distinct from all the roles that user holds
    • Security roles are managed as PIP. This might be coordinated with FHIR Practitioner, but might be only managed in OAuth or other IAM
    • The role in other FHIR resources might be related, but seems like it is more associated with a workflow 'action'. This workflow action would have been authorized by access control, but might be a more fine descriptive detail.
    • John and Kathleen to keep the security wg informed
  • All but two vocabulary items have been applied. The two vocabulary ones are being worked on now.
    • Role vocabulary -- Ewout is helping
    • Lifecycle vocabulary -- John is building
    • Activity vocabulary -- Kathleen has provided start, John needs to integrate into build
    • entity object type to include FHIR Resource list -- Grahame helping
  • New Business
    • NIB proposal by Kathleen --
      • Motion to approve NIB: Kathleen/Mike: 5-0-0
      • Mike notes that this vote needs to be pointed out on the main Security WG minutes.
  • Set FMM values
    • Propose 3 for both Provenance and AuditEvent
    • Evaluation of 2 is appropriate. John to evaluate FMM3 quality checklist.
    • Motion: Approve FMM 2 for Provenance and AuditEvent; with potential FMM 3 if the quality checks are successful - Glen/Kathleen: 5-0-0
      • John to do research, and run an email vote if FMM 3 can be obtained
  • Work on quality issues?
  • New business?
  • No meeting next week due to HIMSS
