System for Secure Data Exchange in Telemedicine

The purpose of this paper is to describe implementation of the system for secure data transfer in telemedicine based on a public key infrastructure. Data security plays a very important role in telemedicine and it is essential to have security issues in mind when designing such a system. Sytem is based on some well known encryption principles, but it also contains new algorithms for medical images compresion and it is used in the real medical environment.
