Popis: Patient Health Record (PHR) is a complete Patient related health data, which is getting stored in cloud computing to gain cost benefit and better access control. In maintaining PHR, cloud computing plays an inevitable role, since small hospitals and physicians are not affordable to maintain own servers to keep PHRs for cost and security reasons . Providing accessibility to variable stake holders like Patients, Physicians, Hospitals and Insurance Providers, become a tedious process in private individual servers with encryption mechanisms. Cloud solution ensures that PHRs ' availability to the necessary stake holders at any point of time. In any country , there are laws which governs to maintain privacy of patient health records, and hence maintaining PHRs in cloud are subjected to privacy concerns and high risk of getting exploited. There are various encryption schemes exist to preserve PHR's security and privacy in Cloud computing. In this paper, we propose a secure PHR accessing scheme for dynamic environment to preserve privacy in semi trusted cloud servers .
