healthKERI utilizes a zero-trust data exchange framework powered by the Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI) to ensure the authenticity and integrity of health data through cryptographic digital signatures. This technology mitigates the risk of data breaches and fraud in healthcare by eliminating reliance on third-party certifiers and reducing the attack surface to a single, cryptographically secure point.

Problem
Healthcare data breaches and fraud are increasing, harming patient outcomes and costing health systems significant time and money. Traditional security models rely on shared secrets and third-party certifiers, creating multiple points of vulnerability and increasing the risk of data compromise. The lack of end-to-end data verification makes it difficult to ensure data integrity and authenticity throughout the healthcare ecosystem.
Solution
healthKERI provides a zero-trust data exchange framework that leverages the Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI) to ensure the authenticity and integrity of health data. By using cryptographic digital signatures on every transaction, healthKERI eliminates the need for shared secrets and reduces the attack surface to a single, cryptographically secure point. This approach ensures that data is only sent and ingested when valid digital signatures are present, providing a provable and verifiable security layer. The platform automates the verification of five key rights on every data exchange: the right data, source, role, purpose, and route, ensuring comprehensive data protection.
Target Audience
healthKERI targets healthcare providers, health systems, and healthcare technology vendors who need to secure sensitive patient data and comply with industry regulations.
