A Review of the State of the Art in Privacy and Security in the eHealth Cloud

Abstract

The proliferation and usefulness of cloud computing in eHealth demands high levels of security and privacy for health records. However, eHealth clouds pose serious security and privacy concerns for sensitive health data. Therefore, practical and effective methods for security and privacy management are essential to preserve the privacy and security of the data. To review the current research directions in security and privacy in eHealth clouds, this study analysed and summarized the state of the art technologies and approaches reported in security and privacy in the eHealth cloud. An extensive review covering 132 studies from several peer-reviewed databases such as IEEE Xplore was conducted. The relevant studies were reviewed and summarized in terms of their benefits and risks. This study also compared several research works in the domain of data security requirements. This paper will provide eHealth stakeholders and researchers with extensive knowledge and information on current research trends in the areas of privacy and security.INDEX TERMS Cloud security; cloud privacy; eHealth cloud.

ehealth technology in cardiac exercise therapeutics for pediatric patients with congenital and acquired heart conditions: a summary of evidence and future directions

“…HIPPA compliant high-value eHealth platforms that allow for the transfer of wearable data to the EMR or health dashboard is essential for the expansion of telerehabilitation in the pediatric populations (75). A cost effective collaboration with experts in the technical space to develop and maintain secure a system would provide the resource needed for a secure platform, due to the complexity and constantly changing nature of the digital and online threats (130). These limitations are not small obstacles and need to be addressed in order for technology to truly help expand the reach of health care providers to the pediatric cardiac rehabilitation population.…”

Survey on security and privacy in Internet of Things‐based eHealth applications: Challenges, architectures, and future directions

“…Security measures can be categorized into preventive, detective, and reactive strategies. 11 Preventive mechanisms aim to prevent or mitigate the system vulnerabilities. For instance, an effective access control scheme ensures clients' security within the cloud environment and prevents unauthorized access.…”

“…To establish a robust security framework, it is imperative to examine and identify potential threats and attacks that could emerge throughout the management lifecycle. Security measures can be categorized into preventive, detective, and reactive strategies 11 . Preventive mechanisms aim to prevent or mitigate the system vulnerabilities.…”

Securing Academic Student File Using Aes Algorithm For Cloud Storage Web-Based System

“…According to (Shrivastava et al, 2020), encryption is mixed-up data that only an authorised person can understand. The process of encryption is converting plain text into ciphertext (Sahi et al, 2021). The process is changing the legible data into an output that consists of random words.…”
