ABSTRACT
iv
Cloud based storage of Patients Health Record and outsourcing an encrypted
record is an emerging technique. Patients Health Record is stored in hospital’s
Private cloud and this will be accessed by the hospital administrator. In the
existing system patient records are maintained by the patients and it is they who
decide on the algorithm to be used for encrypting the records. Patient will
provide the key for accessing their record by third parties. This leads to issues
like scalability, security, Key management overhead etc. To overcome this
challenges , three stage security is provided .Security is enhanced by using AES
and Triple DES algorithm while authenticating login credentials and in sharing
of records between the servers. AES is used for hiding the information about the
users Triple DES is used for encrypting the record before it is been outsourced.
Decryption key is sent to the user for encrypting the content as an OTP message
so that health records are shared securely. Triple DES algorithm is used to
encrypt the whole record that has to be sent to other user.
