VHLs and SMART® Health Links (SHLs) are conceptually related but rely on fundamentally different trust assumptions. In the VHL model, a pre-established trust relationship exists between the VHL Sharer and the VHL Receiver, verified via PKI material exchanged through Trust Lists. In contrast, SHL assumes no prior trust between the SHL Receiver and SHL Sharer. Instead, trust is conveyed at the time the SHL is presented, often using embedded JWS signatures and keys controlled by the SHL Sharer. See Appendix A for a more detailed comparison. ( src )
