Development of a security model for protecting the privacy of patients in a cloud-based information system

Abstract

This work presents a security model in which medical professionals and other users can have access to patient’s health data stored in the cloud without knowledge of the identity of the particular patient which the database belongs to. The access control techniques used in this project grants classifier access to patient data, that is to say, it grants access to data based on the role of the data user. Thus, the aim and objective of the project is achieved.
