Abstract: With the widespread eHealth usage, security of eHealth services is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we analyze the security problems in eHealth systems, discuss various approaches of securing health data collection and sharing proposed in the recent literature on eHealth security, and provide comparative evaluations that include advantages and limitations of each approach. Possible future research directions on each approach for enhancing security for eHealth applications are also suggested.
