Cloud Computing System

The cloud healthcare system represents an important application for cloud computing, as it uses the cloud for the operations of storing patient medical data and sharing it between health care service providers and patients, making the security and privacy of e-health system data the main concern of researchers. This paper presents an integrated secure model for the healthcare system in cloud computing that achieves the security and confidentiality of data transferred through cloud computing, by combining the two algorithms AES and RSA with the access control algorithm CP-ABE in order to use the advantages of each of them, where the encryption process is done by a proposed algorithm which is based on the RSA algorithm, the XOR parameter, and the AES algorithm; the secrecy of the AES algorithm has been increased by generating a dynamic key, and the confidentiality of this key has been secured with two encryption levels, the first level using the CP-ABE algorithm and the second level using the RSA algorithm. The proposed model is characterized by meeting the requirements of access control, authentication, and verification for both the transmitter and the receiver, and the results of the application of this model proved its ability to meet the security requirements of the health care system in cloud computing with the lowest possible implementation time, as the execution times were at the transmitter's end (43.2, 43.83, 45.11, 48. 23, 50.77, 52.16, 57.95, 63.2, and 63.35)ms for variable file sizes (37, 50, 100, 150, 200, 256, 512, 1000, and 1024)KB, respectively. The results also showed its superiority in terms of security requirements in cloud computing and the necessary implementation times on studied reference models.

When the Internet and other interconnected networks are used in a health system, it is referred to as “e-Health.” In this paper, we examined research studies from 2017–2020 to explore the utilization of intelligent techniques in health and its evolution over time, particularly the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cloud computing. E-Health is defined as “the ability to seek, find, understand and appraise health information derived from electronic sources and acquired knowledge to properly solve or treat health problems. As a repository for health information as well as e-Health analysis, the Internet has the potential to protect consumers from harm and empower them to participate fully in informed health-related decision-making. Most importantly, high levels of e-Health integration mitigate the risk of encountering unreliable information on the Internet. Various research perspectives related to security and privacy within IoT-cloud-based e-Health systems are examined, with an emphasis on the opportunities, benefits and challenges of the implementation such systems. The combination of IoT-based e-Health systems integrated with intelligent systems such as cloud computing that provide smart objectives and applications is a promising future trend.

Different Characteristics

This article reports on a study that sought to experiment with multiple education reforms in the context of an extended school calendar year. Three schools, with very different characteristics, undertook to extend their school year to approximately 223 days (from the previous 180 days), reorganize funding to provide more days of schooling for many students, and increase the length of the work year, and consequently the salaries, of teachers. All three schools were able to demonstrate increases in academic achievement, a high level of parent and teacher satisfaction, and a cost-effective use of existing school facilities. Implications for education reform and year-round schooling are discussed.
