Abstract

Mobile health (mHealth) has emerged as a new patient centric model which allows real-time collection of patient data via wearable sensors, aggregation and encryption of these data at mobile devices, and then uploading the encrypted data to the cloud for storage and access by healthcare staff and researchers. However, efficient and scalable sharing of encrypted data has been a very challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a Lightweight Sharable and Traceable (LiST) secure mobile health system in which patient data are encrypted end-to-end from a patient’s mobile device to data users. LiST enables efficient keyword search and finegrained access control of encrypted data, supports tracing of traitors who sell their search and access privileges for monetary gain, and allows on-demand user revocation. LiST is lightweight in the sense that it offloads most of the heavy cryptographic computations to the cloud while only lightweight operations are performed at the end user devices. We formally define the security of LiST and prove that it is secure without random oracle. We also conduct extensive experiments to access the system’s performance.
