A lightweight Secure Data Sharing Scheme in Java

As cloud computing has many advantages such as large storage capacity, low cost and scalability, more and more patients prefer to store their health data in cloud to share with physicians, researchers or other users. However, storing shared data in remote cloud is out of patient's control and exposes to lots of security problems such as privacy and data integrity. So far, more and more data sharing schemes to preserve data security in health field have been put forward, but in most of them, data encryption and decryption are completely implemented by terminal devices, which increases the communication and computation burden of patient and user. Furthermore, most sharing schemes have no integrity verification mechanism, resulting in incomplete data for users to share. To solve the problems, we propose a secure and lightweight data sharing scheme for Internet of Medical Things. Firstly, the scheme guarantees the privacy and authorized access of shared data. Secondly, the scheme realizes efficient integrity verification before user downloads shared data to avoid incorrect query or computation result. Finally, the scheme achieves lightweight operations of patient and user.
