Secure cloud storage for health care data: An integrity auditing protocol ensuring privacy and public verifiability

To enhance the privacy and security of cloud store age systems, this paper proposes a complete integrity audit protocol well adapted to healthcare data management needs. The proposed protocol's privacy-preserving digital forensic readiness mechanism can be utilized by healthcare organizations to safely manage and store individual patient information while being compliant with the law. This protocol features public auditability, which keeps confidentiality intact as third-party auditors can maintain data integrity without having access to the data. It is effective for systems whose data changes over time since it accommodates dynamic data operations to facilitate frequent modification, deletion, and updates. This protocol presents a robust foundation that maintains integrity, privacy, and forensic-readiness.
