Abstract:- To maintain patients sensitive health record in secure manner software is developed. Patients information are stored in an online and retrieved for the purpose when needed. The software is very efficient but little bit lagging in security. Hence the software with security is developed, here for security reasons the patients health and personal informations are encrypted and stored. If the information for the particular person is needed, the data are decrypted using a key and viewed by the doctors. For encryption and decryption, Attribute Based encryption algorithms are used.

Keywords – Random Key, Attribute Based Encryption, Advanced Encryption Standard, Cloud Computing.

INTRODUCTION

In the present day, patients sensitive information maintaining is a major problems. A personal health record is an application used to maintain and manage patients health information in a private, secure, and confidential environment. This stands in contrast to more widely used medical record, which is operated by institutions. The intention of a patients sensitive information is to provide a complete and accurate summary of an individuals medical history which is accessible online. Most people do not carry medical records when they leave home. They do not think that in an emergency, which no one can predict, these medical records can make a big difference. In fact, they could save a life. Previous medications, history of allergy to medications, and other significant medical or surgical history are maintained in the software.

The main aim of the project is to hide patient sensitive informations against hackers and medicine companies. In this project admin manage patient, doctor module also Patients Sensitive informations. The Patient health informations are encrypted using Attribute based encryption and upload it into the cloud. If the doctor wants to view the patient sensitive information, then they will send access request to the admin. Admin will send a secret key to the doctor email id, doctor need to provide this same id in the validate text box. Admin will redirect the download page if the key is correct, otherwise he cant. The doctor easily download the patient information, but could not read patients details, only using encryption key he should be decrypt the patient information for understand about patient condition.

RELATED WORKS

[1] The patients details are shared and maintained by their own the patients themselves. Using the properties of patients personal informations, details are encrypted and stored in cloud.

  1. In this paper Multi-authority attribute-based encryption enables a more realistic deployment of attribute-based access control, such that different authorities are responsible for issuing different sets of attributes. [14] Attribute-based cryptographic primitives provides flexible policies which can be used to build secure infrastructure for designing privacy preserving electronic health record system. [15] In this paper the attribute based encryption are used for to encrypt data and stored in cloud.

    METHODOLOGIES

    • Admin Management.

    • Doctor Management.

    • Cloud server module.

    • Data confidentiality Module

The main goal of our framework is to provide secure patients sensitive information access and efficient key management at the same time. The key idea is to divide the system into multiple security domains according to the different users data access requirements. The public domains consist of users who make access based on their professional roles, such as doctors, nurses and medical researchers. Admin can enter into the software using a correct identity number and password. If correct, they can be admitted otherwise not.

In this module, admin plays a major role. Only admin have full rights to enter and modify details of the

patients. And they also have rights to managing the doctors details.

Each doctor has their unique id and password for access the cloud database in the hospital firm. The doctors also can view the patient details. The admin only upload the information of the patient. The doctor can enter using their id and password by sending a request to an admin. The random key will send to the doctors mail id and the doctor have to see and enter that key then the doctor can enter into their login. Through mail the encryption key also send to the doctors.

The doctor can change their personal details but not able to change patients details. When the doctor wants to view the patient details they have to enter the encryption key that sent to mail id only after the patients sensitive information are decrypted. Finally, doctor can view the patients personal and health records.

In this module the patient information are stored into cloud database. That means the server will try to find out as much secret information in the stored Patients health record files as possible, but they will honestly follow the protocol in general. On the other hand, some users will also try to access the files beyond their privileges. For example, a pharmacy may want to obtain the prescriptions of patients for marketing and boosting its profits. To do so, they may collude with other users, or even with the server. In addition, we assume each party in our system is preloaded with a public/private key pair, and entity authentication can be done by traditional challenge-response protocols.

The admin upload Attribute Based Encrypted Patients health record files to the cloud server. Patients record file is encrypted using Attribute based Encryption Algorithm. Only authorized users can decrypt the

health files, excluding the server. The users need to request a key for download the patient details. Then admin send it to the doctors personal email id. The doctors are should have submit the key. If the key is correct the patient health details are automatically downloaded, otherwise it wont. The merits of the proposed system are the following:

  1. The system can be used to maintain patients details in a secured manner.

  2. No one can easily retrieve or steal patients personalhealth details.

  3. Saves time and reduces human intervention.

  4. Random key generation is another security in doctors login

  5. It makes doctors easily to view the patients details.

  6. The system is flexible and secured to be used.

RESULT AND CONCLUSION

We have developed Secure sharing of patient sensitive information using Cloud Computing. This system extremely user friendly. The system is tested with real data. The system is flexible so that there is a lot of scope to update the system. The developed system portable has been completed which is customized for the satisfaction of the user. The system has been analyzed, designed and developed with full care and can be executed without any faults or errors. As the system is flexible the system can be changed any changes comes in future.
