“…Moreover, it leads to the easy automation of the process of collecting and delivering data at a reduced cost [77]. It further makes mobile devices suited for health information delivery, access, and communication, also on the go [97]. Cloud allows to face common challenges of this application scenario such as: security, privacy, and reliability, by enhancing medical data security and service availability and redundancy [77,6].…”

“…In [27] Yu-Yi Chen et al proposed an EHR sharing and integration system in healthcare clouds and analyze the arising security and privacy issues in access and management of EHRs. Securing mobile health applications running on a mobile device is therefore an important area, if we want the applications to be trustworthy and reliable [28]. A mHealth cloud computing system consists of three main components which are [1]:…”

Abstract. This chapter presents a secure mHealth application which is based on hybrid cloud architecture combined with cryptographic techniques to protect data privacy, integrity and security of patients and health care givers and with role based access control to authenticate and authorize cloud users. Hybrid cloud platform combines the advantages of both the private cloud which guarantees privacy and safety of data and the public cloud which provides a platform for reduced services costs. Integrating cryptography and role based access control with hybrid cloud computing ensures the safety of patients' medical records and enables user authentication and authorization for access control. This integrated technology can provide mHealth care the required safety and privacy to flourish.

“…Some authors like Nkosi et al [38], Wang et al [39], Alamri [40] Constantinescu et al [41] and Botts et al [42] suggested different frameworks for improving health services using cloud computing. Nkosi et al [38] suggest a framework to relieve mobile devices from executing heavier multimedia and security algorithms when delivering mHealth services. The proposed framework uses a cloud computing protocol management model which intends to provide multimedia sensor signal processing and security as a service to mobile devices.…”

Lloret, J.; Sendra, S.; Jimenez, JM.; Parra-Boronat, L. (2016). Providing security and fault tolerance in P2P connections between clouds for mHealth services. Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications. 9 (5) Abstract:The mobile health (mHealth) and electronic health (eHealth) systems are useful to maintain a correct administration of health information and services. However, it is mandatory to ensure a secure data transmission and in case of a node failure, the system should not fall down. This fact is important because several vital systems could depend on this infrastructure. On the other hand, a cloud does not have infinite computational and storage resources in its infrastructure or would not provide all type of services. For this reason, it is important to establish an interrelation between clouds using communication protocols in order to provide scalability, efficiency, higher service availability and flexibility which allow the use of services, computing and storage resources of other clouds. In this paper, we propose the architecture and its secure protocol that allows exchanging information, data, services, computing and storage resources between all interconnected mHealth clouds. The system is based on a hierarchic architecture of two layers composed by nodes with different roles. The routing algorithm used to establish the connectivity between the nodes is the shortest path first (SPF), but it can be easily changed by any other one. Our architecture is highly scalable and allows adding new nodes and mHealth clouds easily, while it tries to maintain the load of the cloud balanced. Our protocol design includes node discovery, authentication and fault tolerance. We show the protocol operation and the secure system design. Finally we provide the performance results in a controlled test bench.
