A personal health record (PHR) is an electronic application which enables patients to collect and share their health information. With the development of cloud computing, many PHR services have been outsourced to cloud servers. Cloud computing makes it easier for patients to manage their personal health records and makes it easier for doctors and researchers to share and access this information. However, due to the high sensitivity of PHR, a series of security protections are needed to protect them, such as encryption and access control. In this article, we propose an attribute set-based Boolean keyword search scheme, which can realize fine-grained access control and Boolean keyword search over encrypted PHR. Compared with the existing attribute-based searchable encryption, our solution can not only improve the flexibility in specifying access policies but also perform Boolean keyword search, which can meet the needs of large-scale PHR users. Furthermore, we simulate our scheme, and the experimental results show that our scheme is practical for PHR systems in cloud computing.

Attribute Based Encryption

In the medical industry, it is critical to ensure the confidentiality of patients’ personal health records when storing and managing them. Before cloud computing surfaced, heath providers used local servers and hard drives to store their records and data. As cloud computing has been becoming more prominent many healthcare providers are using the cloud to store and manage their sensitive data. This journal compares and investigates two different access control models, in particular Role-Based Access Control and Attribute-Based Access Control, to validate the confidentiality of data when storing and managing personal health records on cloud services. The comparative analysis of these access control models is done to identify possible inefficiency and privacy restrictions in these two access control based models. In addition, in this journal we propose a new access control model, which we refer to as Role-Attribute-Based-Encryption Access Control (RABE), by combining some of the best aspects of both RBAC and ABAC in order to improve data privacy on cloud systems used in healthcare.

The distribution of personal health records (PHRs) via a cloud server is a promising platform as it reduces the cost of data maintenance. Nevertheless, the cloud server is semi-trusted and can expose the patients’ PHRs to unauthorized third parties for financial gains or compromise the query result. Therefore, ensuring the integrity of the query results and privacy of PHRs as well as realizing fine-grained access control are critical key issues when PHRs are shared via cloud computing. Hence, we propose new personal health records sharing scheme with verifiable data integrity based on B+ tree data structure and attribute-based signcryption scheme to achieve data privacy, query result integrity, unforgeability, blind keyword search, and fine-grained access control.

Access To Health

Consumers, industry, and government have recently focused attention on the potential of personal health records to empower patients in the health care process, improve patient-provider relationships, facilitate patient access to health information, and improve the quality of health care. A Personal Health Record (PHR) is a private and secure digital record that is created, managed, and owned by an individual, and contains the owner’s relevant health information. The benefits of PHRs have not yet been widely realized due to several significant challenges in their adoption, including the need for privacy, security, and interoperability, and the lack of accepted standards. Although many players in the healthcare arena are beginning to offer partial solutions, none have adequately addressed the full range of challenges. The adoption of PHRs can be significantly accelerated by the development of Open Source software that enables an individual to collect, create, organize, and manage his or her own private and secure PHR, using a standardized format and controlled vocabulary.

This chapter provides an overview of mobile personal health record (MPHR) systems. A Mobile personal health record is an eclectic application through which patients can access, manage, and share their health information from a mobile device in a private, confidential, and secure environment. Personal health records have evolved over the past three decades from a small card or booklet with immunizations recorded into fully functional mobile accessible portals, and it is the PHR evolution outside of the secure healthcare environment that is causing some concerns regarding privacy. Specifically, the chapter reviews the extant literature on critical evaluative components to be considered when assessing MPHR systems.
