Descripción del proyecto
Una solución innovadora para unos servicios de asistencia sanitaria basados en la nube
El creciente uso de servicios sanitarios basados en la nube está destacando los riesgos relacionados con la privacidad del paciente. Se trata de riesgos de los que pueden ocuparse los avances en criptografía. El proyecto ASCLEPIOS, financiado con fondos europeos, aumentará y fortalecerá la confianza de los usuarios en los servicios sanitarios basados en la nube, gracias a la protección del mantenimiento de los datos sensibles personales y de las empresas. La tecnología utilizará métodos criptográficos novedosos para crear una estructura de sanidad electrónica basada en la nube que preserve la privacidad de los usuarios y evite ataques internos y externos. ASCLEPIOS permitirá a los usuarios controlar la integridad de sus productos médicos antes de usarlos y recibir ciertas garantías sobre la fiabilidad del proveedor de servicios en la nube. También permitirá que los profesionales sanitarios y los investigadores médicos calculen las estadísticas de los datos médicos de una forma que proteja la privacidad.
Objetivo
The vision of ASCLEPIOS is to maximize and fortify the trust of users on cloud-based healthcare services by developing mechanisms for protecting both corporate and personal sensitive data. The core idea of the project is derived from two observations. The first is based on an extensive analysis of the market on currently available cloud-based health services that aim to preserve users’ privacy without sacrificing functionality. From this study, we observed the following: “Once data is placed on the cloud in an unencrypted form or encrypted with a key that is known to the cloud service provider, data privacy becomes an illusion”. The second observation is based on the consideration of the latest advancements in cryptography. More precisely, one of the saddest but at the same time most fascinating things about cryptography is how little cryptography we actually use. While researchers have developed many theoretical models that could enhance the security level of healthcare services, only a rudimentary set of techniques are currently in use. ASCLEPIOS is addressing these limitations by utilizing several modern cryptographic approaches to build a cloud-based eHealth framework that protects users’ privacy and prevents both internal and external attacks. ASCLEPIOS also offers the ability to users to verify the integrity of their medical devices prior using them while at the same time receiving certain guarantees about the trustworthiness of their cloud service provider. Furthermore, ASCLEPIOS offers a novel solution through which healthcare practitioners and medical researchers are able to calculate statistics on medical data in a privacy-preserving way. Finally, a list of activities with the aim to raise security awareness within the healthcare industry will be organized by project. All these results will be showcased by three real-life near production quality demonstrators provided by ASCLEPIOS healthcare partners, involving three leading European hospitals.
