<H3>Special Instructions</H3><p> <p>Your ATNA Secure Node or Secure Application may not support the DICOM protocol. In that case, skip this test.</p> </p> <p>The documentation in ITI TF 2:3.19.6.2, 3.19.6.3, and 3.19.6.4 explains us of ciphers for the ATNA profile.  For the NA 2009 Connectathon, we will follow the ATNA guidelines and allow some extensions.</p> <p><u>DICOM and HL7 Communication</u>: Section 3.19.6.2 lists two ciphers, one with encryption and one without. Understanding that some of you have problems with these ciphers, we will allow the following ciphers for DICOM and HL7 communication during the connectathon:</p> <ol> <li>TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA</li> <li>TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA</li> <li>SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA</li> </ol> <p>This means that you will be responsible to find a partner who supports these ciphers. We will not mandate which ciphers are used by which partners.</p> <H3>Description</H3> <p>The purpose of the ATNA_Authentication_DICOM test is for Secure Nodes or Secure Applications    to exchange certificates and then perform DICOM communication over the established connection.</p> <p>Evaluation will require the both applications to show log files or other evidence that    certificates were successfully exchanged and an IHE transaction occurred. The transaction is    allowed to cover a subset of an Integration Profile.</p> <p>As a Secure Node or Secure Application at the Connectathon, you need to examine the list of other Secure Nodes/Applications and    find a system that you recognize as a test partner for other tests. Once you have found a    suitable test partner that uses the DICOM protocol over TLS, you can run this test.</p><H3>Evaluation</H3> <p>Connectathon monitor will examine log files of both applications for evidence of certificate    exchange. Systems should also be able to demonstrate that some transaction was completed (MWL   query, DICOM C-Store, etc.). Systems must support defined cyphersuites. These are found    in the IHE ITI Technical Framework; also see Special Instructions above.</p> <p>The systems under test need to demonstrate only one type of DICOM transaction is operational using    the TLS communication.</p>  <p>Monitor will want to see : <ul> <li>TLS Start or equivalent</li> <li>Certificate of both participants</li> <li>Successful TLS handshake</li> <li>The selected CIPHER Suite</li </ul>
