| Short Description: | Internet is a completely open network putting all security components (confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, availability) at risk. The evolution and rapid change of the Web technologies bring uncertainty and confusion. The security issue should be resolved before applications over the Web can be realised. The objectives of the HARP project (development and demonstration of tools for the harmonisation of applied and emerging Web oriented security systems in telemedicine) was a challenging task that could only be achieved within the framework of an international and targeted co-ordination. Links with health authorities and all relevant standardisation bodies have been achieved in order to contribute valuable impact and in order to solve the security problem over the Web focused in the telemedicine sector. The literature, the wealth of existing results, findings and actual testing have provided guidance to HARP. The overall objective of this project was the development of technologies and tools for the integration of web-oriented security systems. It combined coherent services to demonstrate and quantified the value of security tools/mechanisms/systems harmonisation in business and citizen needs in the Information Society. The overall objective was broken down into the following sub-objectives:
