Abstract

Cloud Computing (CC) has become an integral part of the operation of health. This technology plays an important role in healthcare domain, particularly in the sharing of health data. However, moving and sharing sensitive health data to the cloud still implies severe privacy risks. Various research results have proposed different solutions in order to preserve the privacy of health data in cloud environment. This paper focuses on privacy preserving requirements solutions related to sharing health data in cloud. These solutions have been compared together according to the privacy-preserving requirements, strengths and weaknesses.
