Security Techniques for Protecting Patient Data in Healthcare Applications

Abstract

In healthcare applications, patient’s data and his medical data are stored in database, some of this data is sensitive and it should have limited authorized persons, it’s accessed only by authorized people. The main aim of this work is to propose an improved security technique to ensure the confidentiality of the electronic health records (EHR). We used Attribute-Based Encryption for achieve our goal to protect the confidentiality and the privacy of the patient’s data. The system that we build has been implemented depending on the proposed solution and as we reviewed in the results that the Attribute-Based Encryption has solved our problem.
