E-Government and E-Health Security Standards

E-Government and E-Health systems are undisputedly on the rise. Various nations and healthcare providers have done first steps and undergone experiments in that field. Certainly, E-Health and E-Government are going to change the way how citizens and public administration, or patients and healthcare providers interact. However, with their rising popularity, E-Gov and E-Health might not only introduce new ways of interaction, but also new threats to their users and to their providers. Those threats shall be discussed in this paper in the first chapter. The second chapter will then present the current state of security standards in the E-Government projects of Switzerland.
