Privacy Protection for Wireless Medical Sensor Data
Authors(2) :-Meekhal Solomon, Eldo P Elias Health care involves expensive and challenging services that prominently a?ect the quality of patients’ life and economies. The following decade will witness a surge in remote health-monitoring systems that are based on body-worn monitoring devices. These devices record multiple physiological signals, such as ECG and heart rate, or measure physiological markers such as body temperature, skin resistance, gait, posture, and EMG. The medical data that is acquired from patients by the distributed sensor network can be transmitted to a remote location and can be viewed by a health care professional. Although the system has many advantages and it facilitates the patients and health service providers signi?cantly, the possibility of privacy breaches can allow sensitive health care information to move into the wrong hands. To assure the privacy of the personal health information during the transmission from the sensory networks, a sophisticated cryptographic architecture must be designed and it must ensure secure storage, secure sharing and secure computation of the patient data. A practical approach to prevent both inside and outside attacks to the con?dential data is proposed in this work. The main contribution is securely distributing the patient data in multiple data servers and employing the homomorphic encryption schemes (Paillier and ElGamal cryptosystems) to perform statistic analysis on the patient data . In real-world health case scenarios, more than one party may need to access the patient data and each may have different access requirements. This can be achieved using cipher text attribute based encryption(CP-ABE). Thus secure storage, secure access and secure computation is achieved without compromising patient' s privacy.
