Privacy-Preserving Health Data Collection for Preschool Children

الملخص EN

With the development of network technology, more and more data are transmitted over the network and privacy issues have become a research focus.

In this paper, we study the privacy in health data collection of preschool children and present a new identity-based encryption protocol for privacy protection.

The background of the protocol is as follows.

A physical examination for preschool children is needed every year out of consideration for the children's health.

After the examination, data are transmitted through the Internet to the education authorities for analysis.

In the process of data collection, it is unnecessary for the education authorities to know the identities of the children.

Based on this, we designed a privacy-preserving protocol, which delinks the children’s identities from the examination data.

Thus, the privacy of the children is preserved during data collection.

We present the protocol in detail and prove the correctness of the protocol.
