Health data sharing for clinical research : Designing a patient-centric approach

The use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has seen a breakthrough in clinical research for personalized treatments (Hamburg & Collins, 2010.) Despite the potential advantages of vast EHR data available, constraints of privacy and legislation hinder its use (Rieke et al., 2020.) Health data exists in an interconnected healthcare system ...

Understanding Security and Privacy Characteristics ofHybrid-based IP-ICN Coexistence Architectures

Information-centric Networking (ICN) is the revolution of the internet due to its many benefit over the current internet infrastructure, namely caching, location-independent routing, and data-centric security. ICN ensures seamless data transfer due to its content-centric nature. Due to its content-centric nature, it is a must to ensure that...

Security and Privacy of Overlay-based ICN/IPCoexistence Approaches

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a networking paradigm proposed to replace the current IP network. It uses in-network caching to enhance availability. However, as a clean slate approach is unlikely to work, an architecture that allows for the two paradigms to coexist needs to me used to facilitate the transition. Several such...

Hierarchical Query Mechanisms for Searchable Encrypted Databases

Detecting and tracking of objects by a tracking device can be considered a breach of privacy when an unauthorised party can associate certain tracking information outputted by the tracker to the identity of an individual. Therefore, when this privacy-sensitive information is stored in a database, it is desired that this is done in a secure...
