I/UCRC: Secure Health Services in the Cloud

将卫生组织软件服务迁移到云环境具有特殊的安全和保密风险。这项拟议的工作旨在设计和评估云计算环境的安全机制，以及基于云的医疗服务的新安全架构。这项工作将建立第一个集成的云安全架构，将受保护的内存、安全的分布式存储和基于实用程序的加密结合在一起。拟议工作的结果可能会对云计算在医疗保健部门的使用产生重大影响。这一采用关键取决于数据的安全性、保密性和完整性得到维护。拟议的工作有可能实现一种能够在云环境中保留这些特征的体系结构。

Migration of health organization software services to a cloud environment posses special security and confidentiality risks. The proposed work seeks to design and evaluate security mechanisms for cloud computing environments as well as a new security architecture for cloud-based health services. New mechanisms will be developed in the areas of utility-based encryption, data fragmentation, and redactable signatures and tested in several deployed cloud environments. The effort would establish the first integrated cloud security architecture combining protected memory, secure distributed storage, and utility-based encryption.The outcomes of the proposed work have the potential for significant impact the use of cloud computing in the health care sector. This adoption hinges critically on the fact that the safety, security and integrity of the data be maintained. The proposed work has the potential to achieve an architecture that can preserve these characteristics in a cloud environment. The work is supported by the Industry Advisory Board as well as individual industry members of the center and has the potential to extend the centers portfolio through expansion into the cloud-based health informatics area. The center will involve graduate students in the work and disseminate results both through publication and the involvement of the PI in the Georgia Health Information Exchange (HIE) project.
