Abstract

We report on use of Active Privacy Bundles using a Trusted Third Party (APB-TTP) for protecting privacy of users´ healthcare data (incl. patients´ Electronic Health Records). APB-TTP protects data that are being disseminated among different authorized parties within a healthcare cloud. We are nearing completion of the pilot APB-TTP for healthcare applications, and commencing work on its extension, named Active Privacy Bundles with Multi Agents (APB-MA).
