Safeguarding the Confidentiality of Electronic Health Records: State of Art

Abstract

The increased demand for data availability in every industry is driving individuals to exchange and store data on centralized platforms such as clouds so that the intended audience may access it. To facilitate data exchange and storage in the medical industry, organizations and patients are building cloud platforms. However, the most pressing issue that everyone faces is data protection and security. Here, we describe many techniques that are available to protect the system and meet the requirement for data privacy preservation in the medical industry. Some algorithms are Zero-Knowledge Proof, Principal Component Analysis and Random Projection, Generative Adversarial Networks, blockchain and cloud computing, Quasi-Identifier Recognition, Q-learning Neural Network, digital signature, and others.
