Security and Privacy Preserving for Patient’s E-Health Care Applications

Abstract

Electronic Health (e-Health) acts as a major part in preserving the patient’s physical data. In the developing countries like India, the patient’s data are stored documental and sharing of patient’s physical data leads to lack of privacy and security. In this work, the Attribute Based Encryption (ABE) scheme is adopted to encrypt the patient personal and physiological information. Also, the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is utilized for the integration of multiple CDA documents per patient into a single CDA document in cloud computing environment. By analyzing the security and performance of our proposed scheme, leads to various advantages such as high flexibility, availability, integrity, data security etc. This work appears to be high significance since security and privacy are two main factors to be considered for e-Health applications.
