Student research abstract: a privacy-preserving profile matching based authentication system for mobile health networks

Published: 24 March 2014 Publication History

Abstract

With the help of the Internet, data is often shared between organizations in Business-to-Business healthcare networks. In many applications, users' personal profiles may contain sensitive information that they do not want to make public. The existing system applies the FindU, a profile matching scheme for the Mobile Social Networks. In this scheme an initiating user can find from a group of users the one whose profile best matches with his/her; to limit the risk of privacy revelation, only necessary and minimal information about the participating users is exchanged. In this paper we propose a set privacy-preserving profile matching scheme called FindU for Mobile Health Networks. We design authentication strategies with privacy-preserving profile matching requirements in different interactions among participating entities. Finally, we have evaluated the security and computational overheads for our proposed schemes via secure multi-party computation (SMC).
