Abstract: Health Care is the most important unindustrialized field. Cloud is an emerging trend in software industry. In medical field, there are large dataset comprising highly sensitive data about patient’s medical records. Based on these records, diagnosis for the patient will be given. Moving data to the cloud makes to explore a large information for diagnosis as expert documentation will also be stored as part of health record. Physicians from anywhere at any time can get access over these reports for better treatment. The Medicare industry vacillates to store these data to the cloud as the patients might feel insecure about their health records. This work introduces the idea of combining Cipher Cloud, Inter Cloud and ABE schemes, proposes an innovative method to enhance security features in the cloud by double encryption using algorithms and tools. By this, only authorized entities are proficient of accessing these records. Rather than storing data in single cloud, Inter Cloud (Multi-cloud) also adds advantage for our proposed work.
