If my card is lost or broken? The system you describe seems clearly at less risk of inappropriate disclosure. Whether it's safer is perhaps another question.
- naasking 9y agoa) You still need physical access to a terminal to use the key, and b) you revoke the key when it's reported lost.
- dllthomas 9y agoThose are just more reasons why it's harder to inappropriately access the data. My point was that you may need access to the key fast for health-related reasons, and so from that perspective it may reasonably be deemed "less safe" even if it's more secure. cf. the difference between "fail safe" and "fail secure", in a slightly different context
- naasking 9y agoI get your point, but I don't see how it would be less safe. Right now they look up your records by name or health card number, and this would be a direct link to your health records that you could just tap. It's arguably safer even in the sense you're using it.
