Limitations, Dependencies, and Preconditions for Consideration	Applicable Security Patterns for Consideration
HL7® Version 2 Implementation Guide: Laboratory Value Set Companion Guide Release 1, STU Release 3 - US Realm, June 2018, provides cross-implementation guide value set definitions and harmonized requirements. See HL7 V2 projects in the Interoperability Proving Ground.	Secure Communication – create a secure channel for client-to- serve and server-to-server communication. Secure Message Router – securely route and enforce policy on inbound and outbound messages without interruption of delivery. Authentication Enforcer – centralized authentication processes. Authorization Enforcer – specifies access control policies. Credential Tokenizer – encapsulate credentials as a security token for reuse (e.g., – SAML, Kerberos). Assertion Builder – define processing logic for identity, authorization and attribute statements. User Role – identifies the role asserted by the individual initiating the transaction. Purpose of Use - Identifies the purpose for the transaction.
