Summary

• What is new: S3PHER introduces a novel approach by integrating a Proxy ReEncryption Scheme with a Searchable Encryption Scheme, and utilizing Homomorphic Encryption for enhanced patient data control and security.
• Why this is important: Current systems for sharing health data lack in fulfilling critical security needs, including privacy, confidentiality, and consent management, while also often failing to comply with laws like GDPR and HIPAA.
• What the research proposes: S3PHER ensures patient control over data access while maintaining privacy and security through advanced encryption technologies, addressing the limitations of current health data sharing systems.
• Results: End to end deployment and tests on real datasets show that S3PHER offers practical benefits with promising execution times, ensuring efficient and secure patient data sharing.
