Keywords:
Cloud Security, Cloud Computing, Encryption Techniques, Access Control, Healthcare, Compliance, HIPAAAbstract
This research paper addresses the challenges of securing Personal Health Information (PHI) in cloud-based systems within the healthcare sector. It examines the effectiveness of encryption techniques and access control lists in ensuring data privacy and compliance with HIPAA regulations. The study explores various encryption methods, such as Hybrid Data Encryption Algorithms and Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE), and assesses their strengths and limitations in protecting PHI. Additionally, it reviews different access control models, including decentralized systems with blockchain technology and hybrid approaches that merge role-based and attribute-based controls. The findings highlight the importance of a hybrid approach that combines multiple security measures tailored to specific organizational needs. This study underlines the necessity for ongoing research and policy updates to adapt to evolving technological advancements and emerging security challenges in healthcare data management.
