Access control management for e-Healthcare in cloud environment
This addresses security and data management problems for e-Healthcare providers in cloud environments, but appears incremental as it combines existing semantic web and role-based access control methods.
The paper tackles access control challenges in cloud-based e-Healthcare systems by proposing a semantic-based model that integrates role-based access control with semantic web technologies to manage complex, distributed data. The result is an efficient solution for heterogeneous medical information systems, though no concrete performance numbers are provided.
Semantic web technologies represent much richer forms of relationships among users, resources and actions among different web applications such as clouding computing. However, Semantic web applications pose new requirements for security mechanisms especially in the access control models. This paper addresses existing access control methods and presents a semantic based access control model which considers semantic relations among different entities in cloud computing environment. We have enriched the research for semantic web technology with role-based access control that is able to be applied in the field of medical information system or e-Healthcare system. This work shows how the semantic web technology provides efficient solutions for the management of complex and distributed data in heterogeneous systems, and it can be used in the medical information systems as well.
