A SecureApproach for MedicalData Transmission

Abstract

Medical records are very crucial and sensitive data. These records need to be maintained with maximum security preventing it from any kind of misuse. The medical records are sent to a research institute for analysis of the record or to figure out the cure for the disease. The data can be modified in the channel or might be misused by the third party agent who has access to either complete or partial medical records. One cannot completely trust the channel or the agent who has access to the data. To secure the medical data during transmission in the channel we encrypt the data before it is actually sent through the channel. By applying the process of encryption and decryption the data can be securely transmitted through the channel. The secondary issue identified was to figure out any untrustworthy agent, who might have probably leaked the data. In this paper we discuss an approach to provide security to extremely sensitive data by providing channel security.
