Description
Summary:Sensitive Health Information (SHI) is a developing patient-centric model of medical data exchange, which is frequently outsourced to be stored at third party servers. Though, there have been various privacy issues as SHI could be disclosed to the unauthorised and third parties. This is a promising method to encrypt the SHI before outsourcing to assure the patients’ control over access to their own SHI. However, challenges like scalability in key management and flexible access have remained the most significant issues toward achieving fine-grained, cryptographically data access control. In this paper, the authors proposed a novel patient-centric system model for access control to SHIs stored in semi-honest servers. For fine-grained and scalable access control for SHIs, authors have proposed an encryption technique which is an improvement over RSA techniques to encrypt every patient’s SHI file. To different from previous works in secure data transmission, the authors focus on the data owner and divide users into several domains in SHI, which greatly decrease the key management complexity for data owners and users. Comprehensive analytical and experimental results are presented which reflect the efficiency of the proposed approach.
