Access control management for e-Healthcare in cloud environment

TL;DR

This paper proposes a semantic web-based access control model tailored for e-Healthcare in cloud environments, enhancing security by leveraging semantic relationships among users, resources, and actions.

Contribution

It introduces a novel semantic-based access control model that integrates role-based access control with semantic web technologies for medical information systems.

Findings

Effective management of complex, distributed healthcare data

Enhanced security through semantic relationships

Applicability to medical information systems

Abstract

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.
