Psmpa: Patient Self-Controllable and Multi-Level Privacy-Preserving Cooperative Authentication in Distributed M-Healthcare Cloud Computing System

 ABSTRACT

Distributed m-healthcare cloud computing system significantly facilitates efficient patient treatment for medical consultation by sharing personal health information among healthcare providers. However, it brings about the challenge of keeping both the data confidentiality and patients’ identity privacy simultaneously. Many existing access control and anonymous authentication schemes cannot be straightforwardly exploited. To solve the problem, in this paper, a novel authorized accessible privacy model (AAPM) is established. Patients can authorize physicians by setting an access tree supporting flexible threshold predicates. Then, based on it, by devising a new technique of attribute-based designated verifier signature, a patient self controllable multi-level privacy-preserving cooperative authentication scheme (PSMPA) realizing three levels of security and privacy requirement in distributed m-healthcare cloud computing system is proposed. The directly authorized physicians, the indirectly authorized physicians and the unauthorized persons in medical consultation can respectively decipher the personal health information and/or verify patients’ identities by satisfying the access tree with their own attribute sets. Finally, the formal security proof and simulation results illustrate our scheme can resist various kinds of attacks and far outperforms the previous ones in terms of computational, communication and storage overhead.

AIM

The main aim of this paper is a novel authorized accessible privacy model (AAPM) is based on devised by  a new technique of attribute-based designated verifier signature, a patient self controllable multi-level privacy-preserving cooperative authentication scheme (PSMPA) realizing three levels of security and privacy requirement in distributed m-healthcare cloud computing system is proposed.

SCOPE

The scope of this paper is the formal security proof and simulation results illustrate our scheme can resist various kinds of attacks and far outperforms the previous ones in terms of computational, communication and storage overhead.

EXISTING SYSTEM

The security facet, one of the main issues is access control of patients’ personal health information, namely it is only the authorized physicians or institutions that can recover the patients’ personal health information during the data sharing in the distributed m-healthcare cloud computing system. In practice, most patients are concerned about the confidentiality of their personal health information since it is likely to make them in trouble for each kind of unauthorized collection and disclosure. Therefore, in distributed m-healthcare cloud computing systems, which part of the patients’ personal health information should be shared and which physicians their personal health information should be shared with have become two intractable problems demanding urgent solutions. There has emerged various research results focusing on them.

DISADVANTAGES

·      The challenge of keeping both the data confidentiality and patients identity privacy simultaneously

·      Many existing access control and anonymous authentication schemes cannot be straightforwardly exploited

In this paper, a novel authorized accessible privacy model (AAPM) is established. Patients can authorize physicians by setting an access tree supporting flexible threshold predicates. Then, based on it, by devising a new technique of attribute-based designated verifier signature, a patient self controllable multi-level privacy-preserving cooperative authentication scheme (PSMPA) realizing three levels of security and privacy requirement in distributed m-healthcare cloud computing system is proposed. The directly authorized physicians, the indirectly authorized physicians and the unauthorized persons in medical consultation can respectively decipher the personal health information and/or verify patients’ identities by satisfying the access tree with their own attribute sets. Finally, the formal security proof and simulation results illustrate our scheme can resist various kinds of attacks and far outperforms the previous ones in terms of computational, communication and storage overhead.

 ADVANTAGES

1.  PSMPA can resist various kinds of malicious attacks and far outperforms previous schemes in terms of storage, computational and communication overhead
2.  A patient self-controllable multilevel privacy-preserving cooperative authentication scheme (PSMPA) in the distributed m-healthcare cloud computing system is proposed, realizing three different levels of security and privacy requirement for the patients.
