I/UCRC: Secure Health Services in the Cloud

将医疗机构软件服务迁移到云环境具有特殊的安全和保密风险。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卫生服务的新安全架构。将在基于实用程序的加密、数据碎片和可重写签名领域开发新机制，并在几个部署的云环境中进行测试。这项工作将建立第一个集成的云安全架构，结合受保护的内存、安全的分布式存储和基于实用程序的加密。拟议工作的成果有可能对云计算在卫生保健部门的使用产生重大影响。这种采用关键取决于数据的安全性、保密性和完整性。建议的工作有可能实现在云环境中保留这些特征的架构。这项工作得到了行业咨询委员会以及该中心的个别行业成员的支持，并有可能通过扩展到基于云的健康信息领域来扩展该中心的产品组合。该中心将让研究生参与工作，并通过出版物和PI参与格鲁吉亚卫生信息交流项目来传播结果。

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.
