Cloud-Based Encrypted Health Record

Cloud Computing, an Internet-based computing being ubiquitous in nature has spread its capability to various sectors. The cloud service due to its immense computing power, nominal cost of services, high performance, scalability, accessibility as well as availability is highly desirable. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is one of the most basic yet widely adopted cloud service model. It provides infrastructure such as physical computing resources, location, data partitioning, scaling, security and backup from large pools of equipment and is widely accepted and used. Health industry, being one of the largest and fastest growing industries is the primary consumer of recent technology and makes maximum use of Cloud service. Health organizations hold records of many patients and all these records are to be stored accurately and efficiently. The most common way of execution is that all these records of patients are sent to a third-party computer organization to be stored in a cloud. This method does not exhibit data confidentiality and even poses a threat to data integrity. Our paper proposes the ability of Health organizations to hide data using steganography, encrypt the hidden health records data of patients using cryptographic algorithms in a secure manner and then store these records in cloud to access them at ease with agreeable performance.
