An Identity Based Encryption (IBE) Technique for Secured Patient Healthcare Mobile Monitoring in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing has appeared as one of the trends in the latest epoch of computing and storage. This hoist has led the developers and programmers to embrace this technology in their products. Ample spread usage of mobile devices like mobile phones, tablets etc has given this growth a heavy boost. The cloud server respects the privacy of a patient and keeps it secured by protecting the medical history of the patient. This paper addresses the design of a cloud assisted privacy preserving mobile health monitoring system to protect the privacy of the involved parties and their data. The main objective of the proposed system is preserving the privacy of the information ensuring that this information cannot be misused. The patient’s report will reach the doctor in encrypted format, while a master key helps to deliver the report to the doctor in decrypted format. Then the doctor’s prescription will reach the patient in encrypted format by using the Outsourcing Decryption Technique while a master key helps to deliver the prescription to the patient in decrypted format. Finally, our security and performance analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed design.
