Title
A Robust And Lightweight Secure Access Scheme For Cloud Based E-Healthcare Services
Abstract
Traditional healthcare services have transitioned into modern healthcare services where doctors remotely diagnose the patients. Cloud computing plays a significant role in this change by providing easy access to patients' medical records to all stakeholders, such as doctors, nurses, patients, life insurance agents, etc. Cloud services are scalable, cost-effective, and offer a broad range of mobile access to patients' electronic health record (EHR). Despite the cloud's enormous benefits like real-time data access, patients' EHR security and privacy are major concerns. Since the information about patients' health is highly sensitive and crucial, sharing it over the unsecured wireless medium brings many security challenges such as eavesdropping, modifications, etc. Considering the security needs of remote healthcare, this paper proposes a robust and lightweight, secure access scheme for cloud-based E-healthcare services. The proposed scheme addresses the potential threats to E-healthcare by providing a secure interface to stakeholders and prohibiting unauthorized users from accessing information stored in the cloud. The scheme makes use of multiple keys formed through the key derivation function (KDF) to ensure end-to-end ciphering of information for preventing misuse. The rights to access the cloud services are provided based on the identity and the association between stakeholders, thus ensuring privacy. Due to its simplicity and robustness, the proposed scheme is the best fit for protecting data security and privacy in cloud-based E-healthcare services.
