A robust and lightweight secure access scheme for cloud based E-healthcare services

Abstract

Traditional healthcare services have transitioned into modern healthcare services where doctors remotely diagnose the patients. Cloud computing plays a significant role in this change by providing easy access to patients’ medical records to all stakeholders, such as doctors, nurses, patients, life insurance agents, etc. Cloud services are scalable, cost-effective, and offer a broad range of mobile access to patients’ electronic health record (EHR). Despite the cloud’s enormous benefits like real-time data access, patients’ EHR security and privacy are major concerns. Since the information about patients’ health is highly sensitive and crucial, sharing it over the unsecured wireless medium brings many security challenges such as eavesdropping, modifications, etc. Considering the security needs of remote healthcare, this paper proposes a robust and lightweight, secure access scheme for cloud-based E-healthcare services. The proposed scheme addresses the potential threats to E-healthcare by providing a secure interface to stakeholders and prohibiting unauthorized users from accessing information stored in the cloud. The scheme makes use of multiple keys formed through the key derivation function (KDF) to ensure end-to-end ciphering of information for preventing misuse. The rights to access the cloud services are provided based on the identity and the association between stakeholders, thus ensuring privacy. Due to its simplicity and robustness, the proposed scheme is the best fit for protecting data security and privacy in cloud-based E-healthcare services.

Éclaircissement to Understand Consumers’ Decision-Making Psyche and Gender Effects, a Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

“…A common method bias might exist when the same respondent provided data for both the predictor and the outcome variables, then analyzed using the same instrument. We estimated CMB following the approved procedural and statistical procedures ( Hew et al, 2019 ; Masud et al, 2021 ). Throughout the data gathering process, we maintained the anonymity of our respondents and made it clear that there was no right or wrong answer.…”

Towards Cognitive Authentication for Smart Healthcare Applications

“…Thus, some careful and efficient steps must be taken to remedy most of the unwanted noise in the very sensitive information throughout the system. The main beauty of the EEG based signals for biometrics is that there is slightly less noise and artifacts [ 42 ]. The downside of EEG enabled biometrics is that the security level is less reliable when low-cost hardware devices are adopted.…”

Deep Fake Detection Using Computer Vision-Based Deep Neural Network with Pairwise Learning

“…A feature vector has been generated from the preprocessed image using fuzzy clustering approach [38][39][40][41][42]. It is an unsupervised learning method that identifies the similarity of pixel values without knowing the attribute label used in the cluster overlapping of the image pixel [43][44][45][46][47][48].…”
