Abstract

Certain aspects relate to encryption systems and methods for medical devices. A medical device can include a connectivity module for establishing a communication channel with a cloud system. After obtaining a test result, the device can generate an unencrypted data block comprising a device identifier and an encrypted data block comprising a serial number of the device and the test result using an encryption key associated with the device identifier. The device can securely send the test result to the cloud system by transmitting the unencrypted data block and the encrypted data block to the cloud system via the communication channel.
