Topical Collection on “Security and Privacy in e-healthcare”

The e-healthcare system has recently been considered one of the major advancements in healthcare industry. For example, a personally controlled electronic health record (PCEHR) system is proposed by the Australian government to build the healthcare system more agile, secure, and sustainable. Although existing e-health systems claim that the patients can only access their electronic records, healthcare professionals and system/database operators may happen to access the patients’ electronic health record information. The conventional methods for preserving the privacy of healthcare systems entirely trust the system operators. Therefore, the health related information is vulnerable to be exploited by even the authorized personnel in an immoral/unethical way. Furthermore, issues such as the absolute number of healthcare records, their sensitive nature, flexible access, and efficient user revocation have remained the most vital challenges towards fine-grained, cryptographically enforced data access control.

On the other hand, the rapid growth and enormous adoption of e- healthcare systems have transformed Web to a platform for communication and social interaction. Although e-healthcare systems have been designed and developed with a goal of sharing information, many users struggle to appropriately manage and share their information via existing information systems. Most existing e-health systems define privacy either as private/ public dichotomy or in terms of a “network of friends” relationship; in which, all friends are treated equal and all relationships are mutual. These systems fail to support the privacy expectations that non-technical users bring from their real life experiences.

From a scientific and technological point of view, there are several challenges that need to be addressed to make e-healthcare systems an enabling means to address security and privacy issues.

This special issue of Journal of Medical Systems solicits state-of-the-art research results and surveys in secure and privacy-preserving e- healthcare system. The issue will invite submissions on all aspect of e- healthcare systems in the context of privacy. Of special interests are implementations that demonstrate novel applications addressing privacy- preserving features/functionalities in e-healthcare systems.
