With the pervasiveness of smart phones and the advance of wireless body sensor networks (BSNs), mobile Healthcare (m-Healthcare), which extends the operation of Healthcare provider into a pervasive environment for better health monitoring, has attracted considerable interest recently. However, the flourish of m-Healthcare still faces many challenges including information security and privacy preservation. In this paper, we propose a secure and privacy-preserving opportunistic computing framework, called SPOC, for m-Healthcare emergency. With SPOC, smart phone resources including computing power and energy can be opportunistically gathered to process the computing intensive personal health information (PHI) during m-Healthcare emergency with minimal privacy disclosure. In specific, to leverage the PHI privacy disclosure and the high reliability of PHI process and transmission in m-Healthcare emergency, we introduce an efficient user-centric privacy access control in SPOC framework, which is based on an attribute-based access control and a new privacy-preserving scalar product computation (PPSPC) technique, and allows a medical user to decide who can participate in the opportunistic computing to assist in processing his overwhelming PHI data. Detailed security analysis shows that the proposed SPOC framework can efficiently achieve user-centric privacy access control in m-Healthcare emergency. In addition, performance evaluations via extensive simulations demonstrate the SPOC’s effectiveness in term of providing high reliable PHI process and transmission while minimizing the privacy disclosure during m-Healthcare emergency. SPOC A Secure and Privacy-Preserving Opportunistic Computing Framework for Mobile-Healthcare Emergency
In Existing System, According to the sense over the age of 65 is expected to hit 70 million by 2030, having doubled since 2000. Health care expenditures projected to rise to 15.9% by 2010. The cost of health care for the nation’s aging population has become a national concern are important for understanding how the opportunistic computing paradigm work when resources available on different nodes can be opportunistically gathered together to provide richer functionality, they have not considered the potential security and privacy issues existing in the opportunistic computing paradigm.
In our proposed SPOC framework aims at the security and privacy issues, and develops a user-centric privacy access control of opportunistic computing in m- Healthcare emergency.
