Abstract

With the increase in patient influx and burdened health care system, healthcare providers architecting their infrastructure in cloud and faced with the big challenge of security of patient data as well as the privacy of this records, requires a well secured and architected infrastructure in the cloud to both handle capacity and the requirement of security.

This research implemented a federated authentication with device-based authentication using protocols such as Active directory federated services and oauth2 to design a highly secured authentication infrastructure, to improve the security and privacy of an eHealth application. The focus of this study is to build a well architected framework, that is not overly complicated to adopt in other to combat known cloud infrastructure and application vulnerabilities that might lead to breach in patient data.
