A multilevel security framework for cloud-based ubiquitous healthcare application service

Abstract

In this paper, the need for security mechanisms for healthcare domains with appropriate levels of protection is addressed. Specifically, we design security framework for multiple level of security in a ubiquitous healthcare service provisioning based on cloud computing. The goal is to provide a localized and dynamic security structure of a typical cloud computing communication for patient data access, storage, transmission, and processing as well as provide security and privacy risk mitigation strategies in ubiquitous health serve provisioning. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
