Abstract (EN): This paper describes the design and implementation of a PKI-based eHealth authentication architecture. This architecture was developed to authenticate eHealth Professionals accessing RTS (Rede Telematica da Saude), a regional platform for sharing clinical data among a set of affiliated health institutions. The architecture had to accommodate specific RTS requirements, namely the security of Professionals' credentials, the mobility of Professionals, and the scalability to accommodate new health institutions. The adopted solution uses short lived certificates and cross-certification agreements between RTS and eHealth institutions for authenticating Professionals accessing the RTS. These certificates carry as well the Professional's role at their home institution for role-based authorization. Trust agreements between health institutions and RTS are necessary in order to make the certificates recognized by the RTS. The implementation was based in Windows technology and as a general policy we avoided the development of specific code; instead, we used and configured available technology and services.
