Healthcare data are very sensitive records which hold patient’s information. In order to make this information secured it should not be made available to unauthorized people. Information technology is increasingly used in healthcare with the goal to improve and enhance medical services and reduce cost. Hospitals across the globe are in the process of moving away from paper-based manual information processing to Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Hospital Information System (HIS) in order to provide effective and efficient healthcare services. Cloud computing model is becoming popular in healthcare IT infrastructure for providing EHR sharing and EHR integration. However, they also come along with new risk and raise challenges with respect to security and privacy aspect. There are different techniques used to protect the data which includes Data Encryption, Data Masking, and Access Control. Encryption is a process of changing the actual text in order to secure the original data. Ensuring security and privacy is a major factor in the cloud computing environment. Hence, securing healthcare data stored in the cloud is an important measure for healthcare IT system.
