Abstract

Secure management of Electronic Health Records (EHR) in a distributed computing environment such as cloud computing where computing resources including storage is provided by a third party service provider is a challenging task. In this paper, we explore techniques which guarantees security and privacy of medical data stored in the cloud. We show how new primitives in attribute-based cryptography can be used to construct a secure and privacy-preserving EHR system that enables patients to share their data among healthcare providers in a flexible, dynamic and scalable manner.
