HealthDep : An Efficient and Secure Deduplication Scheme for Cloud-Assisted E- Health Systems
Abstract
Introduction
In this HealthDep: An Efficient and Secure Deduplication Scheme for Cloud-Assisted E-Health Systems paper, we analyze the inherent characteristic of electronic medical records (EMRs) from actual electronic health (E-Health) systems, where we found that first, multiple patients would generate large amounts of duplicate EMRs and second, cross-patient duplicate EMRs would be generated numerously only in the case of patients consulting doctors in the same department. We then propose for cloud-assisted eHealth systems (HealthDep) the first efficient and secure encrypted EMR deduplication scheme.
System Configuration
Platform : cloud computing
Conclusion
In this paper, we have proposed the first secure and efficient encrypted EMRs deduplication scheme for cloud-assisted E-Health systems, namely HealthDep. The HealthDep is able to resist brute-force attacks without suffering from the singlepoint-of-failure problem; the patients in the HealthDep make use of their smartphones to secure delegation and MLE keys.
