Grid Security

This chapter describes security and privacy issues within the scope of biomedical Grid Computing. Grid Computing is of rising interest for life sciences (Konagaya, 2006) and has been used since many years in sciences like high energy physics. Anyhow, medical applications on the grid require a special focus on data security and data protection issues. Based on general security and privacy rules, the authors describe the current state of the art of grid security. Then they describe which additional security measures have to be established in different biomedical grid scenarios. Legal aspects have to be taken into account as well as the current possibilities and flaws of grid security technology. Describing the enhanced security concept in MediGRID (MediGRID, 2005) they outline how medical Grid Computing could fulfill privacy regulations used in more demanding environments.

Purpose Privacy concerns and data security are changing the risks for businesses and organisations. This indicates that the accountability of all governance participants changes. This paper aims to investigate the role of external auditors within data protection practices and how their role is evolving due to the current digital ecosystem. Design/methodology/approach By surveying the literature, the authors embrace a practice-oriented perspective to explain how data protection practices emerge, exist and occur and examine the auditors’ position within data protection. Findings Auditors need to align their tasks to the purpose of data protection practices. Accordingly, in accessing and using data, auditors are required to engage moral judgements and follow ethical principles that go beyond their legal responsibility. Simultaneously, their accountability extends to data protection ends for instilling confidence that security risks are properly managed. Due to the changing technological conditions under, which auditors operate, the traditional auditors’ task of hearing and verifying extend to new phenomena that create risks for businesses. Thus, within data protection practices, auditors have the accountability to keep interested parties informed about data security and privacy risks, continue to transmit signals to users and instill confidence in businesses. Research limitations/implications The normative level of the study is a research limitation, which calls for future empirical research on how Big Data and data protection is reshaping accounting and auditing practices. Practical implications This paper provides auditing standard setters and practitioners with insights into the redefinitions of auditing practices in the era of Big Data. Social implications Recent privacy concerns at Facebook have sent warning signals across the world about the risks posed by in Big Data systems in terms of privacy, to those charged with governance of organisations. Auditors need to understand these privacy issues to better serve their clients. Originality/value This paper contributes to triggering discussions and future research on data protection and privacy in accounting and auditing research, which is an emerging, yet unresearched topic.

AbstractAgainst a backdrop of increasing data security and privacy concerns, current data protection law will soon be overhauled by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Previous research has indicated a lack of data protection management in libraries, however, it has been nine years since the latest study. This article by Josephine Bailey aims to provide an updated review of the extent of data protection management in UK library and information services and gauge preparation for the incoming GDPR.

User Data

With the close integration of science and technology and health, the broad application prospects of healthy interconnection bring revolutionary changes to health services. Health and medical wearable devices can collect real-time data related to user health, such as user behavior, mood, and sleep, which have great commercial and social value. Healthcare wearable devices, as important network nodes for health interconnection, connect patients and hospitals with the Internet of Things and sensing technology to form a huge medical network. As wearable devices can also collect user data regardless of time and place, uploading data to the cloud can easily make the wearable device’s system vulnerable to attacks and data leakage. Defects in technology can sometimes cause problems such as lack of control over data flow links in wearable devices, and data and privacy leaks are more likely to occur. In this regard, how to ensure the data security and user privacy while using healthcare wearable devices to collect data is a problem worth studying. This article investigates data from healthcare wearable devices, from technical, management, and legal aspects, and studies data security and privacy protection issues for healthcare wearable devices to protect data security and user privacy and promote the sustainable development of the healthcare wearable device industry and the scientific use of data collection.

Wide Range

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are introduced to improve individuals’ quality of life by offering a wide range of services. They collect a huge amount of data and exchange them with each other and the infrastructure. The collected data usually includes sensitive information about the users and the surrounding environment. Therefore, data security and privacy are among the main challenges in this industry. Blockchain, an emerging distributed ledger, has been considered by the research community as a potential solution for enhancing data security, integrity, and transparency in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, despite the emphasis of governments on the transparency of personal data protection practices, CAV stakeholders have not been successful in communicating appropriate information with the end users regarding the procedure of collecting, storing, and processing their personal data, as well as the data ownership. This article provides a vision of the opportunities and challenges of adopting blockchain in ITS from the “data transparency” and “privacy” perspective. The main aim is to answer the following questions: (1) Considering the amount of personal data collected by the CAVs, such as location, how would the integration of blockchain technology affect transparency , fairness , and lawfulness of personal data processing concerning the data subjects (as this is one of the main principles in the existing data protection regulations)? (2) How can the trade-off between transparency and privacy be addressed in blockchain-based ITS use cases?

General Data

Currently, there are several challenges that cloud-based healthcare systems around the world are facing. The most important issue is to ensure security and privacy, or in other words, to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data. Although the main provisions for data security and privacy were present in the former legal framework for the protection of personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduces new concepts and new requirements. In this paper, we present the main changes and the key challenges of the GDPR and, at the same time, we present how a cloud-based security policy could be modified in order to be compliant with the GDPR, as well as how cloud environments can assist developers to build secure and GDPR compliant cloud-based healthcare systems. The major concept of this paper is dual-purpose; primarily, to facilitate cloud providers in comprehending the framework of the new GDPR and secondly, to identify security measures and security policy rules, for the protection of sensitive data in a cloud-based healthcare system, following our risk-based security policy methodology that assesses the associated security risks and takes into account different requirements from patients, hospitals, and various other professional and organizational actors.

Present days, huge amount of data stored with cloud service providers. The Third- party auditors (TPAs), with support of cryptography, are frequently utilized to prove this data. Auditing will be capability for cloud clients to prove the existence &functioning of their supplier's security measures. Authentication is done by using username and password. The important point in authentication is to protect data from the access of unauthorized people. The proposed scheme is Enhanced RSA (ERSA) Algorithm. This paper presents solution to enhance the security and privacy to stored data in cloud. Result demonstrates that this scheme can progress the security of data that stored in cloud
