Descrizione del progetto
Una soluzione innovativa per servizi di assistenza sanitaria sicuri e basati su cloud
Il crescente utilizzo di servizi di assistenza sanitaria basati su cloud sta ponendo sotto i riflettori i pericoli connessi alla privacy dei pazienti. Si tratta di rischi che la crittografia avanzata può affrontare. Il progetto ASCLEPIOS, finanziato dall’UE, aumenterà e rafforzerà la fiducia degli utenti nei servizi sanitari basati su cloud, garantendo la conservazione di dati sensibili aziendali e personali. La soluzione concepita impiegherà metodi crittografici innovativi per l’istituzione di una struttura di sanità elettronica basata su cloud in grado di preservare la privacy degli utenti e di impedire attacchi interni ed esterni. Il progetto ASCLEPIOS permetterà agli utenti di controllare l’integrità dei propri dispositivi medici prima dell’uso e di ricevere determinate garanzie riguardo l’affidabilità del fornitore dei servizi cloud. Inoltre, permetterà a operatori sanitari e ricercatori in ambito medico di calcolare statistiche dei dati medici tramite modalità a tutela della privacy.
Obiettivo
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.
