Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 5) which is identical with ISO 17090-5 : 2017 ‘Health informatics - Public key infrastructure - Part 5: Authentication using Healthcare PKI credentials’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Health Informatics Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

This Indian Standard is published in five parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Overview of digital certificate services

Part 2 Certificate profile

Part 3 Policy management of certification authority

Part 4 Digital Signatures for healthcare documents

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in the Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
