Abstract

In this paper, the need for security mechanisms for healthcare domains with appropriate levels of protection is addressed. Specifically, we design security framework for multiple level of security in a ubiquitous healthcare service provisioning based on cloud computing. The goal is to provide a localized and dynamic security structure of a typical cloud computing communication for patient data access, storage, transmission, and processing as well as provide security and privacy risk mitigation strategies in ubiquitous health serve provisioning.
