Topic: How to publish a secure email PGP key?
Tim Berezny (Aug 08 2018 at 17:36):
We are configuring HealthcareServices for eReferral to be able to receive referrals via secure email.
We see that the HealthcareService.referralMethod has "semail" as an option. To send secure email, we want to publish the public PGP key of the service.
We are thinking of thinking of three options to do this:
1) create an extension in HealthcareService (called something like semailPGPKey) to store the key
2) create an extension in the HealthcareSerivces Endpoint resource to store the key
3) put the key into the HealthcareService's Endpoint.header
Any thoughts on the best approach to this? Are there other good options I've missed?

Originally we had the public key in the resource, however then needed to know why it was there, and purposes and types and ...
So we removed it so that you can put in the extension for the specific usage that you need.

Ok, i THOUGHT I saw it somewhere previously and when I went looking for it and didn't see it I thought I was losing my mind a little bit ;)
Makes sense for it to be an extension.
