E-Health Security on Could Computing and its Challenges

Abstract

Healthcare credentials digitized on Cloud has reformed the access of healthcare solutions widely; where patient’s medical history is recorded periodically on Cloud and can be accessed based on necessity legally. Cloud services and storage has become a gateway for many services globally with multiple storage providers providing storage facilities to access. This paper enumerates the benefits of Electronic Healthcare on cloud and tribulations based on security and privacy, where the concern is a substance, which itself holds a pack of catalogues such as Confidentiality, Integrity, Data Violation, Reliability, Network eavesdropping, Denial of service, Collusion, etc. The foreground of this paper is a survey with different problems and solution possibilities discussed based on cloud storage and communication on security and privacy issues faced and discussed on work papers which are originally published for Electronics Health Records (EHR) or Electronics Medical Records (EMR). The pros and cons of each approach and results are conferred in this literature survey along with the definitions of cloud computing, its types and existing technologies.
