Abstract

Biomedical research is increasingly dependent on a large number of genomic and clinical data, and in order to protect sensitive information from being exposed to multiple partners, these data are often encrypted before being outsourced to third-party cloud service providers with abundant storage and computing resources. However, these third parties will become potential targets to be violated. Hence, in this paper, a novel method is proposed for secure sharing and management of genomic and clinical data on an untruthful cloud server firstly, in which the Hamming codes and HashMap are adopted to ensure the privacy and integrity of biomedical data during counting queries. And then, the performance of our newly proposed method is evaluated on the basis of the existing single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sequence database, and simulation results show that the new method has good encryption efficiency and realizability, and can guarantee the privacy and integrity of biomedical data effectively while being implemented in counting queries.
