The PHR is a tool that you can use to collect, track and share past and current information about your health or the health of someone in your care. Personal health record (PHR) is considered as an emerging patient-centric model of health information exchange, where people can share their health information to other people. Since there are wide privacy concerns about the health records and due to high operational cost, users stored at a third party server called as Cloud Server. The issues such

In order to get rid off from this ,in this paper we introduce attribute-based encryption (ABE) techniques to encrypt each patient's PHR file so that an unauthorised people won't be able to view our PHR file.
