The use of pseudonyms is a privacy-enhancing technique supporting privacy-by-design and ensuring non-attribution. Pseudonymisation allows storing directly person identifying data separately and securely from medical data and supports the data controller to meet the GDPR’s data security requirements (Art. 32 lit. 1 EU GDPR).
To facilitate the generation and administration of appropriate pseudonyms the Institute for Community Medicine of the University Medicine Greifswald (UMG) developed the web-service-based gPAS.
The use of pseudonymization domains, the specification of individual alphabets and generator algorithms allow for the free generation of different pseudonyms per data source, application context or study site.

Access to relevant application and database servers of the Trusted Third Party tools should only be possible for authorised personnel and via authorised end devices. We therefore recommend additionally implementing the following IT security measures:
- Operation of the relevant servers in separate network zones (separate from the research and supply network).
- Use of firewalls and IP filters
- Access restriction at URL level with Basic Authentication (e.g. with NGINX or Apache)
- use of Keycloak to restrict access to Web-Frontends and technical interfaces
The gPAS was developed by the University Medicine Greifswald and published in 2013 as part of the MOSAIC-Project (funded by the DFG HO 1937/2-1).
Selected functionalities of gPAS were developed as part of the following research projects:
- MIRACUM (funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research 01ZZ1801M)
