Introduction
by Kathleen Connor 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi everyone, I finally stopped just "lurking" and joined UMA as a voting member. Eve suggested that I introduce myself and let you know why I'm joining the Umatarians. My interest in UMA started while working for Mike Davis, VHA Security Architect, on the Privacy on FHIR [PoF] project, led by ONC and VA, which resulted in a demo at HIMSS 2015. A number of UMA/HEART members were actively involved including: Debbie Bucci, Justin Richer, and Adrian Gropper. And while the PoF project is done or dormant, that work just keeps progressing here, at HL7, IHE, and in ONC projects. Right now, I'm primarily focused on the HL7 FHIR Privacy and Security side of things, and there's increasing interest, talk, pressure for convergence between HL7 FHIR Privacy and Security with UMA/HEART where it makes sense - e.g., using HL7 Security Labels as OAuth claim tokens. As a newly elected cochair of HL7 Security WG, I'll be joining John Moehrke, another cochair, Glen Marshall, and others who regularly attend or monitor UMA to find ways for HL7 Security and Community Based Collaborative Care [CBCC] Work Groups to collaborate. I will also be looking for synergies with the ONC Patient Choice project, which I am currently working on as well. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to be more involved and getting to know the other UMA members. Thanks, K Kathleen Connor Baycliffe Strategies, Inc.

Reminder: APAC-friendly sync 2016-01-28
by Eve Maler 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

- *Thu Jan 28* at APAC-friendly times - Voice: Skype: +99051000000481, room code 178-2540# - Screen sharing: http://join.me/findthomas - *NOTE:* *IGNORE* the join.me dial-in line shown here in favor of the dial-in info above (Kantara "line C" and the Skype line) - See the UMA calendar for additional dial-in and timing details (e.g., the call time = *Wed Jan 27 4pm PT*): http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/Calendar If you wish to be added to the calendar invitation, send me a note. If you wish to be added to our Skype chat group to receive reminders before I open the bridge, include your Skype handle. The standing agenda is to review recent WG progress, collect participant feedback, check on action item status, and attend to any other relevant business. Others besides those in APAC-ish regions are welcome to join. This sync series has been useful for some who have a standing conflict with our weekly WG calls. However, the sync series doesn't "count towards quorum" if you're a voting participant. *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl

New "UMA Legal" area on the KI UMA wiki
by Eve Maler 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+Legal ...which you can get to easily with the following link: http://tinyurl.com/umalegal As we were reaching out to potential external reviewers and other interested parties, we were getting questions about where the legal info was on the site, so I did a bit of consolidation and updating, and created the tinyurl. (Note also that the UMA wiki and the KI site generally have been updated to reflect the publication of the UMA V1.0.1 Recommendations!) Next I'll do my action item about creating open issues for the editorial questions that have arisen on the model text. *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl

Eve, can you unpack the technical solution point that you're making? Are you saying that an n:1 solution is currently incompatible with a 1:1 solution and which role is on either side of the : ?

(apologies for cross-posting) Thanks, Josh. As always, you are able to explain the issue much better than me. This is why I've tried my best to understand the gaps between UMA as it is today and something that lays cliaim to user-managed access. FHIR and UMA and, consequently, HEART are all new and we need to be very clear about how we design this next generation of protocols. In the UMA legal subgroup, we've tried to map UMA into "Agency Law", the relatively simple branch of law that dictates how an individual (patient) can specify an agent (as in lawyer, accountant, or doctor) to act on their behalf. Suffice it to say, that agency law does not assume that an agent will have any conflict of interest in the baseline case but that conflicts of interest can arise in the real world (for example when a broker is put in an agency role). It's up to all of us, FHIR, UMA, and HEART, to develop around the requirement for agency on the part of the individual. We can layer on all sorts of other complexities to deal with brokerage and jurisdictional issues, but if we don't start with clear personal agency in the Authorization Server, then we will keep chasing the increased complexity and insecurity of our networks for another 10 years.

UMA for Healthcare - calling all umanitarians
by Adrian Gropper 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

UMA is perfect for healthcare. Preamble: Healthcare has just discovered REST and OAuth and is struggling with major unsolved patient identity and privacy problems that UMA can solve. The UMA opportunity is global. Three kinds of health records access have been tried in the developed world (UK has a centralized government-controlled system, AU has a centralized patient-controlled system, and US has a mess of private silos and state exchanges with little or no patient control). It can be argued that all three of these approaches is failing for privacy and scalability reasons. History: For over a year, I've been working with a geek physician (Michael Chen) that has an open-source electronic patient record (EHR) to convert it into an UMA-based and compatible alternative to the three incumbent models above. The idea is to have each patient own and control the technology that hosts their individual health record and use UMA and OIDC to connect her personal EHR server to institutional systems, licensed clinicians, and family caregivers. Michael has made a lot of progress is separating his EHR code into a practice copy and a patient copy and integrating MITREid Connect into the separated pieces. Last week, a number of things came together including the first public presentation of this project that I put up on YouTube, publicized by a very articulate practicing physician http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2016/01/23/the-patient-centered-health-re… , a major publication http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1512142 by long-time academic collaborators of mine, and a bunch of behind-the-scenes activity leading to separate testimony in Washington this week by Eve and by me http://bit.ly/APItaskforce . In healthcare, as opposed to more typical commerce, patients have a "right of access" to our own health data which can be used to drive adoption of UMA by physicians and tech innovators. The major health IT conference in the US is coming up at the end of February and it's a major opportunity to promote UMA. *Need Help:* Michael Chen and I need help with our respective GitHub projects (NOSH and HIE of One) in order to complete the proof of concept while the regulators and geeks are still firming up the healthcare standards and profiles. I am particularly lame and am hoping to get some coding help around HIE of One which I'm building around Debian/FreedomBox at https://github.com/HIEofOne/PersonalAS/wiki/Milestone-1:-OpenID-Connect-Cli… As you can see there, the FreedomBox community will also help and help drive adoption. I think Roland's UMA code for Python could do much of this and, because NOSH is using MITREid Connect, the result would be more broadly interesting. Can any umanitarian help add an UMA AS to FreedomBox? Thanks, Adrian -- Adrian Gropper MD PROTECT YOUR FUTURE - RESTORE Health Privacy! HELP us fight for the right to control personal health data.

If you have *action items*, this is a great chance to try to complete them. (I'm aware that several are weighing on my own head. :-) Also, our 2016 APAC-friendly sync meetings don't start up again until next week. As always, you can check the meeting schedule by looking at our online *calendar* <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/Calendar>. If you haven't received an *invitation* to any of these meeting series and would like to, drop me a private note and I'll add you. Also, if you'd like to receive *Skype* pings about impending meetings a few minutes before they start, let me know your Skype handle and I'll add you to our chat group. *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl

Deriving UMA [Legal] from the law and one simple assumption
by Adrian Gropper 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

In the last month two very important regulatory guidance documents have been released by the EU and US governments respectively: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-15-6385_en.htm and http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/access/index.ht… By adding to these regulations a single constraint - that an individual can own and specify the UMA Authorization Server if they choose to - I think we can derive a complete UMA Legal profile and associated clauses. I've started analysis of the US reg at http://bit.ly/HEARTfromHIPAA I think a similar analysis could be interesting for the EU regs.

Notes from UMA legal subgroup telecon 2016-01-15
by Eve Maler 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

*Please note:* No meeting next week! We'll resume the week after. http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+legal+subgroup+notes 2016-01-15 - Review the emerging WG roadmap use cases <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+telecon+2016-01-14> - Discuss the "RO access limit discretion" use case <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+telecon+2016-01-14> - Discuss other open editorial issues for the candidate model text <http://www.commonaccord.org/index.php?action=list&file=GH/KantaraInitiative…>, as outlined in previous meeting notes below Attending: Eve, Ann, Adrian, Jim, Jon, Mark, Sal, Thomas What Eve calls the "Adrian clause" is this part of UMA Core Sec 3.3.3 <https://docs.kantarainitiative.org/uma/draft-uma-core-v1_0_1.html#give-acce…>: "The resource server MAY apply additional authorization controls when determining how to respond." What does the "RS authorization discretion" use case mean? Should the AS be made officially aware that the RS still didn't give access (similar to the "Shoebox" technical idea), or could the RS somehow need some other assurances that it can be compliant? This goes right back to the Adrian clause, and complementarily, to the Shoebox idea. The RS could either warn Alice, or could verify the requesting party on its own. Is this broad-based, or truly healthcare-specific? To how many jurisdictions does it apply? Adrian suggests another case of a warning. A data processing process might take some time to complete, and only licensed practitioners can receive in-process results. Would it be useful to develop a model clause, or even a pair of model clauses? Sounds like it's useful to try, and then go back and see if it's getting used. What does the "RO access limit discretion" use case mean? There is something of an opposite to the Adrian clause in the same section: "The resource server MUST NOT give access in the case of an invalid RPT or an RPT associated with insufficient authorization." A way of looking at it is: - Conditions: RO wants sharing to happen; AS executes those directions appropriately, such that the RPT is valid and is associated with sufficient authorization data: - RS gives access - normal case - RS doesn't give access - To remain compliant with the law of some jurisdiction - MUST PRODUCE NOTIFICATION? - For some other reason - MUST NOT HAPPEN WITHIN AN UMA FLOW GOVERNED BY THE PAT MINTED WITH THE AS ABOVE? - Conditions: RO doesn't want sharing to happen; AS executes those directions appropriately, such that the RPT is invalid or is associated with insufficient authorization data: - RS doesn't give access - normal case - RS does give access - To remain compliant with the law of some jurisdiction - MUST PRODUCE NOTIFICATION? - For some other reason - MUST NOT HAPPEN WITHIN AN UMA FLOW GOVERNED BY THE PAT MINTED WITH THE AS ABOVE? The idea of getting notices is that the RO could severe the relationship with the RS if they want. Of course, sometimes there are legal constraints on even getting a notification. Can you ever trust the AS to serve the RS, versus the RO? Only at the business agreement level could an AS start to consider jurisdictional issues that RS's care about. *Please note:* No meeting next week!
