Abstract
Significant improvement in eHealth services in both quality and financial points of view are possible if public cloud infrastructures could be utilized in storing and processing personal health information (PHI) from IoT devices monitoring and collecting data from persons. The challenge is that personal health records are highly sensitive and health related organization are not willing to trust the cybersecurity of public clouds. Another challenge is that strict regulation is in place regarding the physical location of PHI. This paper addresses these issues by proposing tokenization architecture and crypto-implementation for personal identity number (PIN). This will allow the storage and processing of the personal health information (PII) in the public cloud as the data cannot be identified to a specific person. The proposal follows the general data protection regulation (GDPR) by offering secure and highly resilient architecture for the separation of health data and person identity.
