Software Cross Payer Encryption Algorithm

MHCC shall provide each payer an encryption algorithm, Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), using one-way hashing consistent with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) recognized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Each payer shall maintain the security and preserve the confidentiality of the UUID encryption algorithms provided by MHCC.

The full encryption software documentation, source code, and executables are bundled into a ZIP file. That software can be downloaded by clicking here?. The file is password protected. Upon request, the password will be forwarded to the payer contact in an e-mail.

Questions regarding the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) Cross Payer Encryption Algorithm should be directed to Leslie LaBrecque at MHCC via e-mail at leslie.labrecque@maryland.gov .
