除了其他业务领域，云计算正在成为医疗保健领域的一种新的计算范式。大量的健康组织已经开始将电子健康信息转移到云环境。在卫生领域引入云服务，不仅方便了医院和诊所之间的电子病历交换，而且使云能够作为病历存储中心。此外，转移到云环境可以使医疗保健组织从繁琐的基础设施管理任务中解脱出来，并最大限度地降低开发和维护成本。尽管如此，将患者健康数据存储在第三方服务器中也会对数据隐私造成严重威胁。由于在云中存储和交换的医疗记录可能会泄露，因此在设计安全和隐私机制时，基本上应该考虑患者的隐私担忧。已经使用了各种方法来保护云环境中的健康信息的隐私。这项调查旨在涵盖电子健康云中采用的最先进的隐私保护方法。此外，还将隐私保护方法分为密码学方法和非密码学方法，并对各种方法进行了分类。此外，报告了所提出的方法的优点和缺点，并强调了一些有待解决的问题。
Cloud computing is emerging as a new computing paradigm in the healthcare sector besides other business domains. Large numbers of health organizations have started shifting the electronic health information to the cloud environment. Introducing the cloud services in the health sector not only facilitates the exchange of electronic medical records among the hospitals and clinics, but also enables the cloud to act as a medical record storage center. Moreover, shifting to the cloud environment relieves the healthcare organizations of the tedious tasks of infrastructure management and also minimizes development and maintenance costs. Nonetheless, storing the patient health data in the third-party servers also entails serious threats to data privacy. Because of probable disclosure of medical records stored and exchanged in the cloud, the patients' privacy concerns should essentially be considered when designing the security and privacy mechanisms. Various approaches have been used to preserve the privacy of the health information in the cloud environment. This survey aims to encompass the state-of-the-art privacy-preserving approaches employed in the e-Health clouds. Moreover, the privacy-preserving approaches are classified into cryptographic and noncryptographic approaches and taxonomy of the approaches is also presented. Furthermore, the strengths and weaknesses of the presented approaches are reported and some open issues are highlighted.
