A Secured Hybrid Cloud Architecture for mHealth Care

Abstract

Abstract. This chapter presents a secure mHealth application which is based on hybrid cloud architecture combined with cryptographic techniques to protect data privacy, integrity and security of patients and health care givers and with role based access control to authenticate and authorize cloud users. Hybrid cloud platform combines the advantages of both the private cloud which guarantees privacy and safety of data and the public cloud which provides a platform for reduced services costs. Integrating cryptography and role based access control with hybrid cloud computing ensures the safety of patients' medical records and enables user authentication and authorization for access control. This integrated technology can provide mHealth care the required safety and privacy to flourish.

Security, Privacy Challenges and Available Countermeasures in Electronic Health Record Systems: A Review

“…Identification is not a unique safety challenge in itself, but its persistence is to recognize handlers. Consequently, it caused to affect the way a handler can be authenticated [43]- [45]. Authentication, in turn, offers assurance that the demanding information access is reliable and effective [29] likewise have the claims of identity upon accessing [42].…”

“…Authentication, in turn, offers assurance that the demanding information access is reliable and effective [29] likewise have the claims of identity upon accessing [42]. There should be assurance that the communication is with an approved personnel on the other side [43]. Lastly, the authorization procedure defines which quantity of data can be limited to an outsider upon the safety rules and policies.…”

“…2) Availability defined as the property of a system and reserve being available, functional and accessible upon request by approved personnel [37], [40], [42] whenever it is needed in healthcare system [46]. Guaranteeing availability also comprises averting service interruptions due to hardware limitation and shortcomings, power fluctuation/outage, and system upgrading [38], [43].…”

Secure Multi-Level Privacy-Protection Scheme for Securing Private Data over 5G-Enabled Hybrid Cloud IoT Networks

“…The private cloud just stores the homomorphic keys and, even if leaked, without user location information, the encrypted data stored in the public cloud cannot be deciphered. Nagaty et al [18] integrated cryptography and access control to secure data in the hybrid cloud. Access control information along with cryptography keys are stored in the private cloud without any security.…”
