DirectTrust Standards: Trusted Health Information Exchange

PortaFide is built on DirectTrust standards, ensuring secure, encrypted, and authenticated health information exchange between trusted parties.

Historical proof speaks volumes: Zero breaches across billions of exchanges demonstrates that trust isn’t hoped for — it’s engineered, audited, and accredited by impartial bodies.

Built on fifteen years of proven excellence in safeguarding U.S. healthcare. The numbers tell a powerful story:

• 6+ billion secure messages processed without a single breach
• 350K trusted organizations
• 2.8 million identity-proof participants nationwide
• 0 security breaches — a perfect record of protection

This isn’t luck — it’s the result of embodying zero trust architecture: no assumption of safety, only rigorous proof at every step.

• Direct Secure Messaging
• Trusted Instant Messaging Plus
• Directory Service
• Trust Framework
• Registration Authority
• Certificate Authority

HL7 Standards: Healthcare Interoperability Excellence

Full support for HL7 FHIR, HL7 v2, and CDA standards enables seamless integration with existing healthcare systems worldwide.

• FHIR
• CDA
• HL7v2

Ekko: Secure Messaging Platform

Ekko provides encrypted messaging and document exchange capabilities designed specifically for healthcare communication workflows.

Identity-Proofing Foundation

Every exchange begins with rigorous identity verification, anchored in third-party accreditation from DirectTrust — a nonprofit sentinel that validates participants to government-grade levels of assurance.

Continuous Authentication

Senders and receivers aren’t just authenticated once – their permissions are validated hop by hop throughout the entire transmission journey.

Encryption Metadata Enforcement

Advanced encryption protocols are enforced across our global network, with metadata ensuring every payload remains protected and auditable.

Compliance by Design

Compliance isn’t bolted on — it’s woven into every layer, from HIPAA and FedRAMP to ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, making exchanges legally defensible and regulatorily seamless.

Message Types: Clinical Workflows Reimagined

Direct Secure Messages (DSM)

Asynchronous PHI exchange leveraging SMTP + S/MIME with full audit trails. Perfect for referrals, care coordination, and comprehensive record transfers. Every message includes compliance metadata and immutable logging per HL7 FHIR AuditEvent resources.

Trusted Instant Messages (TIM+)

Real-time, E2EE communications with embedded compliance metadata for urgent clinical consultations. Sub-second delivery with quantum-hardened encryption ensures both speed and unbreakable security for time-sensitive care coordination.

All built atop IETF standards, ensuring legacy EHR systems integrate via developer-first APIs — transforming HL7v2 payloads to CDA or FHIR without workflow disruption.

CertiNext Partnership: Quantum-Era PKI Mastery

Guaranteed Quantum-Safe Backbone

Ekko’s partnership with CertiNext, eMudhra’s Certificate Lifecycle Management powerhouse, elevates global PKI to quantum-resilient standards. CA-agnostic orchestration spans discovery, issuance, renewal, and revocation across hybrid clouds and on-prem deployments.

Post-quantum safeguards deployed today

• NIST-approved CRYSTALS-Kyber for key encapsulation
• Dilithium for quantum-resistant digital signatures
• KMIP-compliant key management with automated rotation

Every certificate chain resists Shor’s algorithm threats — this isn’t theoretical armor, it’s operational reality fused to Ekko’s message bus for seamless global distribution.
