Not a good model to quote because I believe that Promedicus decrypt at

Ross,
I wondered how they did the encryption-decryption from the provider's
end, but then Medicare Australia wouldn't have that problem, would they?
John Brewer has had a meeting with us and all this is due to change. A
much more friendly model, private keys generated at the user end, and a
'known customer trust' model that allows for easy application for and
issue of keys. Also an automated means of distributing expired keys. I
was very heartened by all this. Watch and wait.
This is very good news, indeed. People have been asking for such things
for a long time. Maybe Mr Abbott's speech in December has had some impact.
