SECURE HEALTHCARE DATA STORAGE AND ACCESS CONTROL IN CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS USING AES AND ECC ENCRYPTION

Abstract

This research paper tackles the important issue of ensuring the safety of health informatics in a cloud environment by proposing a novel framework based on a hybrid method, combining AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for data encryption with ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) for key management and decryption. Cloud computing has become a vital service in today's health-care systems, providing scalable and cost-efficient data storage services. However, this trend towards cloud-based services also comes with growing security and privacy concerns around the protection of patient data. This research proposes a framework that provides data confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility, through a secure encryption and decryption. Experimental results presented in this research demonstrate that the hybrid approach is effective for securing health informatics data, while also providing efficient encryption and decryption times and scalability of the system. Overall, a cloud infrastructure framework that accounts for data privacy around patient information offers a practical solution for the ever-increasing data storage and access control and compliance needs associated with health-care regulated data.
