Abstract

Increasingly health records are stored in cloud-based systems, and often protected by a private key. Unfortunately the loss of this key can cause large-scale data loss. This paper outlines a novel Cloud-based architecture (SECRET) which supports keyless encryption methods and which can be used for the storage of patient information, along with supporting failover and a break-glass policy.
