Securing Patient Data Access using Segmented Key Management Approach

Abstract

Cloud technology can be utilized to empower data sharing capacities, which can profit the client through more noteworthy efficiency and profitability. Nonetheless, the Cloud is defenseless to numerous security vulnerabilities and privacy, which thwarts the advance and wide scale reception of data sharing for the reasons for cooperation. Along these lines, there is a solid interest for data owners to not just guarantee that their information is kept private and secure in the Cloud, however to likewise have a level of control over their own particular data contents once they are imparted to data consumers. In particular, the principle issues for data sharing in the Cloud incorporate security attacks, key management and data owner access control. As far as key management, it is key that data should first be encrypted before storage in the Cloud, to prevent security breaches and privacy. In this paper, a segmented key management is proposed.
