Abstract

Electronic health (e-health) information system relies on cloud computing technologies to provide massive medical data computing and storage services. Especially, the recently proposed Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) on these medical data can not only effectively improve the healthcare service quality, but also support the end users with limited computing resources. However, MLaaS on the massive medical data faces the challenge of privacy. Homomorphic encryption technology has been explored to assure the privacy of medical data owners in MLaaS but with the weaknesses of limited homomorphic operations and low efficiency. To alleviate these weaknesses, this paper proposes a novel privacy-preserving non-collusion dualcloud (NCDC) model-based e-health information system using neural network (NN) computing. The system can not only assure medical data privacy through adopting homomorphic encryption technology but also assure NN model privacy by adding fake neurons to the NN. In addition, the proposed e-health information system also has the following advantages: (i) Simple key generation. (ii) No constraint on the size of medical data to be encrypted. (iii) The less loss of prediction accuracy between encrypted and original medical data. (iv) Supporting more homomorphic operations and having better computing efficiency through experiment verification.
