Secure Healthcare Data Storage and Transmission: A Review of Current Technologies and Future Directions

Abstract

The development of websites, applications, and the first social networks profoundly altered everyone's life and became the catalyst for advancement on a global scale. The days of immovable points, phones, and printing presses are long gone. But is everything really as perfect as it looks? Perhaps the most contentious thing in history is progress. We now have the freedom to express our ideas without fear, connect with individuals around the globe, and access a seemingly limitless amount of knowledge thanks to the Internet. But as time goes on, concerns about the cloudlessness of virtual existence become more and more prevalent; we have been captured by things that do not exist in reality. Apart from the well-known hazards like terrorism and global warming, the growth of the Internet has given rise to entirely unknown and novel perils that have infiltrated our life. We refer to this phenomena as "cybercrime". Any form of criminal activity carried out virtually is referred to as cybercrime. Ten to twenty years ago, this phenomena was known only to specialised specialists. IT industry, and it is currently a worldwide issue. Although everyone and the IT sector receive adequate security measures and equipment, cybercrime is nevertheless increasing at a very rapid pace in parallel. There are several security problems and cyberthreats in the modern world. With new technology emerging daily, we can predict major issues in the road.  In this work a Secure Healthcare Data Storage and Transmission in WAN area is discussed.
