Abstract

The present invention relates to a virtual machine (VM) for processing digital data, in particular medical data, by executing a digital data processing application program, in particular a medical data processing application program (MeDPAP), the virtual machine (VM) being a simulation of a computer, a) the virtual machine (VM) comprising a volatile memory (ViMStor) configured to comprise a storage space for temporary data (TEMP) for temporarily storing the digital data; b) the virtual machine (VM) being configured to be accessed by any virtual machine user activated on a virtual machine user list, wherein any activated maintenance virtual machine user is denied any permission regarding the storage space for temporary data (TEMP), wherein denying any permissions is performed by logging into the virtual machine (VM) as an administrator and setting corresponding options; c) wherein any administrator has been deactivated on the virtual machine user list, wherein deactivating any administrator has been performed by logging into the virtual machine (VM) as an administrator and setting corresponding options for each administrator in the virtual machine user list; d) wherein the virtual m…
