Abstract
There is provided a method for sharing data generated by a hearing device, comprising providing an encryption key in the hearing device; providing a decryption key in an external entity separate from the hearing device; generating data by a sensor of the hearing device, encrypting the data with the encryption key and storing the encrypted data on the hearing device; reading the encrypted data from the hearing device; and decrypting the read encrypted data with the decryption key in the external entity, wherein a user authorizes access to the sensor generated data by the external entity.
Claims10
A method for sharing data generated by a hearing device, comprising
- providing an encryption key in the hearing device;
- providing a decryption key in an external entity separate from the hearing device;
- generating data by a sensor of the hearing device, encrypting the data with the encryption key and storing the encrypted data on the hearing device;
- reading the encrypted data from the hearing device;
- and
- decrypting the read encrypted data with the decryption key in the external entity,
- wherein a user authorizes access to the sensor generated data by the external entity;
- wherein the encryption key is externally provided to the hearing device;
- wherein the hearing device accepts the encryption key only if a user of the hearing device has authorized access of the external entity to the data generated by the hearing device sensor.
A method for sharing data generated by a hearing device comprising:
- providing an encryption key in the hearing device;
- providing a decryption key in an external entity separate from the hearing device;
- generating data by a sensor of the hearing device, encrypting the data with the encryption key and storing the encrypted data on the hearing device;
- reading the encrypted data from the hearing device;
- and
- decrypting the read encrypted data with the decryption key in the external entity,
- wherein a user authorizes access to the sensor generated data by the external entity;
- wherein the encryption key is signed by using an authentication key;
- wherein the encryption key is signed based on the authentication key only if the user has authorized access of the external entity to the data generated by the hearing device sensor.
