Abstract
Security is critical when implementing FHIR. As a web specification, web security techniques like SSL, OAuth are critical. Provenance tracking is a critical part of any FHIR solution, and FHIR also allows for sharing System Audit Trails. The presence of narrative in resources and attachments presents some specific security challenges.
