An Efficient Key Generation Scheme for Secure Sharing of Patients Health Records using Attribute Based Encryption

Attribute Based Encryption that solely decrypts the cipher text's secret key attribute. Patient information is maintained on trusted third party servers in medical applications. Before sending health records to other third party servers, it is essential to protect them. Even if data are encrypted, there is always a danger of privacy violation. Scalability problems, access flexibility, and account revocation are the main security challenges. In this study, individual patient health records are encrypted utilizing a multi-authority ABE method that permits a multiple number of authorities to govern the attributes. A strong key generation approach in the classic Attribute Based Encryption is proposed in this work, which assures the robust protection of health records while also demonstrating its effectiveness. Simulation is done by using CloudSim Simulator and Statistical reports were generated using Cloud Reports. Efficiency, computation time and security of our proposed scheme are evaluated. The simulation results reveal that the proposed key generation technique is more secure and scalable.
