SHC Stolle & Heinz Consultants GmbH & Co. KG is starting with the new SHC+CARE project as one of the only four providers approved in Germany to issue Electronic Health Professional Cards (HBA) and Electronic Security Module Card Type B (SMC-B) for the telematics infrastructure (TI).
A major health care provider needed a solution for a consistent and secret but personal and readable voter number for one of its clients. On the basis of the existing product requirements document, SHC created the functional specifications document, which was then implemented together with a SHC partner company.
According to this, the voter number is cryptographically deduced from the numbers of approximately 6 million insured persons. After this, it was checked for uniqueness and finally prepared for postal voting.
After a two-year bidding process, the company gematik, which is responsible for the applications of the electronic health card, has allocated the development of the telematics infrastructure and the testing of the application of insurance master data management and of the qualified electronic signatures to two consortia. Within the scope of the development, decentralised (e.g. card terminal, primary system and connector) and central components (e.g. access service, intermediate) had to be developed and built. In addition, SHC supported one of the consortia.
