CRYPTOGRAPHIC PERSONAL HEALTH RECORD MAINTENANCE IN THE CLOUD

Patients can control their health information over the internet with personal health records (PHR). PHRs hold highly sensitive information. Unintentional disclosure of this information impedes an intimate component of a patient’s private life and may have severe effects. Cloud computing is gaining traction, but it has also raised security issues that have also been critically examined in academics and practice. Collaboration of technologies such as PHRs and Clouds necessitates study on security and privacy issues due to potential inherent conflicts. Our research aims to look into privacy concerns that may arise when using such a cloud service. A real-world scenario with solid facts and questions backs up the outcomes.
