Abstract - Today internet is getting faster and cheaper to
use with the introduction of 4G network. Thus due to this
external storage sources such as cloud is used by many on
daily basis. There emerged various cloud providers both in
private and public cloud computing scenarios. Thus with the
fast and massive growth of data that is being stored on the
cloud gave development opportunitiestomakethecloudmore
secure and reliable. The major sector among all that was
heath related services which started using cloud to satisfy
their daily needs.
So in this paper we are going to concentrate on
securing health services using cloud and ways to make it safe
and secure to use. However, in currentstoragescenario, health
care data is totally stored in cloud servers. Thus, users who
upload their data on cloud lose their right of control of the
data on cloud and face privacy leakage risk. The other privacy
protection schemes and technologies are usually based on
encryption technology, but these kinds of methods cannot
effectively resist attack that are originated from the inside of
cloud server by a cloud provider whoseservicesarehandled by
a third party source. So we thought of implementing a novel
approach which will spilt data and store on cloud and local
servers simultaneously. This technique will be explained as
Split and Combine (SaC). To upload data, the data will be split
in to two where the first will be saved on the cloud and the
other will be saved on the local server. To request data, wewill
again combine the data from the cloud and the local server.
We are intending to use Google Drive as the Cloud. In this
project, the main focus has been given to secure healthcare
private data in the cloud using a local server computing
facility and AES algorithm.
Key Words: Cloud, Healthcare, Security, Local Server,

1. INTRODUCTION
Today computer technology isbecomeanintegral partof our
day to day life. Cloud computing is the hot topic today that is
being used by many. Thus cloud computing is used in large
amount of applications from social networks to health care
and many more. Thus as the use of cloud increased it gave
rise to misuse of user data by an attacker. Thus security
challenges arose from it as most of the application data is
handled by third party cloud handlers. Withtheintroduction
of 3G and 4G networks the internetgotfasterthusincreasing
the amount of data that is being sent on the cloud. Thus to
track this amount of data from attackers got a very
challenging task. Thus the privacy of data on the cloud
providers was unpredictable. There were many cyber-
attacks
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This topic of previous studies describes the fundamentals of
various techniques and technologies used to protect data
that is stored on the cloud. It helps in understanding and
evaluating various ideas put forward by various technical
papers published by various publishers.
Ashish Singh et al.[1] authors explains the idea of
about the basic features of the cloud computing, security
issues, threats and their solutions that can be achieved by
using various techniques used to overcome them. It also
explains some key topics related to cloud such as cloud
architecture framework, service and deployment model,
cloud technologies, cloud security concepts, threats, and
attacks that come with cloud computing.Italsoconcentrates
a lot of open research issues related to the cloud security
that can be improved upon. The Main Limitation of this
paper is that it concentrates on saving data as whole on the
cloud only.
Tian Wang et al.[2] authors explains the idea of
taking full advantage of cloud storage and protect the
privacy of data from leakage together. In this paper they
explain a technique named, Hash-Solomon codealgorithmis
designed to divide data into different parts to store data at
various steps. Then, a small part of data is saved in local
machine and fog server in order to protect the privacy of a
whole data. It has high accuracy to store data.TheLimitation
of the paper is that it concentrates on only splitting data and
not the security of the split data which is achieved by the
concept in our paper.
S. Seema et al. [3] authors explain the idea of using
multi keyword search approachforfindingdata onthecloud.
The approach presented in this paper is known as secure
multi-keyword ranked search over encrypted cloud data.
This approach in the paper supports some of the functions
like uploading and deletion of les which can be done by
multiusers. Here RSA algorithm is used. The proposed
technique in this paper makes use of a structure known as
tree-based indexing to develop search competence and also
provides adaptable uploading and deletion of les. The

Limitation of the paper is that it concentrates on RSA
algorithm and not on SaC technique which is more efficient
then it.
Sherman S.M. Chow, et al.[4] authors explain the
idea of public auditing of the data that is stored on the cloud.
It introduces a third party auditor (TPA) to check the
integrity of outsourced data and be worry free and be
tension free. Thus the work proposed in thispaperincreases
a securecloudstoragesystemsupporting privacy-preserving
public auditing for easy cloud use. It also extends TPA to
perform audits for multiple users simultaneously and
efficiently without any extra cost and efforts. This proposed
schemes are provably secure and highly efficient for various
cloud providers. The Limitation of the paper is that it
concentrates on public auditing and not on SaC technique
which is more efficient then it.
R. Kowsik et al. [5] authors explain the idea for
securing data in the cloud using offensive decoy technology
for data security. In this paper abnormal data activity is
found using a thread . The unauthorized access is detected
using challenge questions set during registration. When
unauthorized access is detected disinformation attack is
launched by returning large amounts of decoy in formation
to the attacker to misguide him. It protects the misuse of
data by the attacker. The Limitation of the paper is that it
concentrates on offensive decoy technology and not on SaC
technique which is more efficient then it.
3. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
In the proposed system we consider of dropping the
traditional approach of storing the data as a wholeusing SaC
technique. Furthermore, data security is the mostimportant
part in cloud storage security and it includes three aspects:
data privacy, data integrity and data availability at a given
time a user intends to use them. Thus to add extra security
for the SaC we are going to use encryption and decryption
techniques with it. We are proposingtouseGoogleDriveand
Google Spreadsheet for demonstration of out technique.
3.1 Architecture
Fig -1: Proposed System Architecture
Fig 1 shows the proposed system architecture which will be
explained in brief as follows:
1) Healthcare User: This entity may be anyonefrom
the health sector such as doctor, patient, Staff etc. This will
be a mobile application with various users.
2) Send Data: Here data is sent for uploading which
is received on the local server for further processing. The
data will be received using internet and cloud.
3) Split Data: Here data is split on local server for
uploading. The Split data calculation will depend on the
formula applied to number of fields in the table that is to be
uploaded.
4) Encryption: Here the split data isencryptedusing
AES Algorithm. The AES algorithm increases the security of
the data.
5) Upload: Here the 80 percent split data is
uploaded to cloud and the remaining is kept on the local
server. The local server database may be oracle etc. and the
cloud server database will be Google Spreadsheet.
6) Request Data: Here data is requested by user for
downloading which is receivedonthelocal serverforfurther
processing. The Request is first received by the local server.
7) Download data: Here data is downloaded from
the cloud and local server.
8) Combine Data: Here the split data is combined
together with help of formula to split and combine
technique.
9) Decryption: Here the combineddata isdecrypted
and shown to the user. The user can view the data on the
mobile
3.2 Algorithm
AES is a short form of Rijndael block cipher . It was
developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Vincent Rijmen
and Joan Daemen, who submitted a proposal to NIST during
the AES selection process. Rijndael is a familyofcipherswith
different key and block sizes each with a block size of 128
bits, but three different key lengths: 128, 192 and 256 bits.
AES was first adopted by the U.S. government for
security and is now used worldwide. It is the advanced
version of the Data Encryption Standard (DES), which was
published in 1977. The AES algorithm is a symmetric-key
algorithm, meaning the same key is used forbothencrypting
and decrypting the data using AES. AES is included in the
ISO/IEC 18033-3 standard for security features.
AES is the rst (and only) publicly accessible cipher
approved by the National Security Agency(NSA) for top

secret information when used in an NSA approved
cryptographic module (see Security of AES, below).

5. CONCLUSION
This Project explain a novel approach with various
techniques to improve the security of a Health care data
using cloud and Split and Combine (SaC) technique. At first
data is split and uploaded successfully. Then the data is
downloaded and Combined together. To enhance the
security, the data after split id encrypted using AES
algorithm and decrypted after combining the data. The
current system is very good in increasingthesecurityofdata
on the cloud as the data is partially stored on the cloud. The
drawback of the system is thatthelocal servershouldalways
be on to combine the data together.
