  • Participatory sensing applications rely on recruiting appropriate participants to share their surrounding conditions with others, and have been widely used in many areas like environmental monitoring, health care, and traffic congestion monitoring, etc. In such applications, how to ensure the privacy of a participant is important, since incentive mechanisms are used to maintain their enthusiasm for sustainable participation by offering certain amount of reward. In this paper, we propose a pseudonym-based privacy protection scheme, that takes both privacy protection and user incentives into consideration. The proposed scheme uses the pseudonym mechanism and one-way hash function to achieve user incentives, while protecting their identity. We also show extensive analysis of the proposed scheme to demonstrate that it can meet the security and performance the requirement of a participatory sensing application.

  • Recently, the invasion of privacy in medical information has been issued following the interest in the secondary use of mass medical information. The mass medical information is very useful information that can be used in various fields such as disease research and prevention. However, due to privacy laws such as the Privacy Act and Medical Law, this information, including patients' or health professionals' personal information, is difficult to utilize as a secondary use of mass information. To do these problem, various methods such as k-anonymity, l-diversity and differential-privacy that can be utilized while protecting privacy have been developed and utilized in this field. In this paper, we discuss the differential privacy processing of the various methods that have been studied so far, and discuss the problems of differential privacy using Laplace noise and the previously proposed differential privacy. Finally, we propose a new scheme to solve the existing problem by adding a 1-bit status field to the last column of a given data set to confirm the response to queries from analysts.

  • Recently the interest in secondary use of medical information has emerged. But the domestic legislation or guidelines, such as being able to say that already specialize in healthcare information, can be seen a 'national medical privacy guidelines'. However the guidelines have suggested that only a violation of privacy laws in the medical information, it does not defined clearly with respect to protected health information(PHI) for secondary use. In this paper, we learn the HIPAA(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy Rule of the US legislation which provides a non-identifiable screen instructions for secondary utilization of medical information, domestic guidelines and other country's guidelines. comparing with the HIPAA, national medical privacy guidelines and the domestic studies, we propose a new domestic target non-identifying information suitable for the domestic field and present future research direction.

  • During the last decade, genomic cohort study has been developed in many countries by linking health data and genetic data in stored samples. Genomic cohort study is expected to find key genetic components that contribute to common diseases, thereby promising great advance in genome medicine. While many countries endeavor to build biobank systems, biobank-based genome research has raised important ethical concerns including genetic privacy, confidentiality, discrimination, and informed consent. Informed consent for biobank poses an important question: whether true informed consent is possible in population-based genomic cohort research where the nature of future studies is unforeseeable when consent is obtained. Due to the sensitive character of genetic information, protecting privacy and keeping confidentiality become important topics. To minimize ethical problems and achieve scientific goals to its maximum degree, each country strives to build population-based genomic cohort research project, by organizing public consultation, trying public and expert consensus in research, and providing safeguards to protect privacy and confidentiality.

  • Recently invasion of privacy problem in medical information have been issued following the interest in secondary use of large medical information. These large medical information is very useful information that can be used in various fields such as disease research and prevention. However, due to the privacy laws such as Privacy Act and Medical Law, these informations including patients or health professionals' personal information are difficult to utilize secondary. Accordingly, various methods such as k-anonymity, l-diversity and differential-privacy that can be utilized while protecting privacy have been developed and utilized in this field. In this paper, we study differential privacy processing procedure, one of various methods, and find out about the differential privacy problem using Laplace noise. Finally, we propose a new method using the Shamir's secret sharing method and symemetric key encryption algorithm such as AES for this problem.

  • With the feature of convenience and low cost, remote healthcare monitoring (RHM) has been extensively used in modern disease management to improve the quality of life. Due to the privacy of health data, it is of great importance to implement RHM based on a secure and dependable network. However, the network connectivity of existing RHM systems is unreliable in disaster area because of the unforeseeable damage to the communication infrastructure. To design a secure RHM system in disaster area, this paper presents a Secure VANET-Assisted Remote Healthcare Monitoring System (SVC) by utilizing the unique "store-carry-forward" transmission mode of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). To improve the network performance, the VANET in SVC is designed to be a two-level network consisting of two kinds of vehicles. Specially, an innovative two-level key management model by mixing certificate-based cryptography and ID-based cryptography is customized to manage the trust of vehicles. In addition, the strong privacy of the health information including context privacy is taken into account in our scheme by combining searchable public-key encryption and broadcast techniques. Finally, comprehensive security and performance analysis demonstrate the scheme is secure and efficient.

  • Through the convergence of medical services and the IT technique, the patient's personal health information computerization has been rapidly spread with propagation of electronic medical record(EHR). In addition, by entering u-health, the demand of the secondary use for public health, medical research, and medical service using electronic patient health care records are increasing. The personal health information secondary uses for the development of academic medical area and service, are very good thing. But, carelessly to use personal health information, the patient privacy would be damaged. However, there are not yet systematic studies about secondary use of personal health information. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the difference of the internal and external bill for personal medical data secondary use and propose the direction of the medical service development and preservation of the individual's privacy.

  • This paper proposes a secure and efficient anonymous authentication scheme for health information push service based on indoor location in hospital. The proposed scheme has the following benefits: (1)It is just based on a secure one-way hash function for avoiding complex computations for both health care operations users and health care centers. (2)It does not require sensitive verification table which may cause health care centers to become an attractive target for numerous attacks(e.g., insertion attacks and stolen-verifier attacks), (3)It provides higher security level (e.g., secure mutual authentication and key establishment, confidential communication, user's privacy, simple key management, and session key independence). As result, the proposed scheme is very suitable for various location-based medical information service environments using lightweight-device(e.g., smartphone) because of very low computation overload on the part of both health care operations users and health care centers.
