IT world is migrating towards utilizing cloud computing as an essential data storing and exchanging platform. With the amelioration of technology, a colossal amount of data is generating with time. Cloud computing provides an enormous data storage capacity with the flexibility of accessing it without the time and place restrictions with virtualized resources. Healthcare industries spawn intense amounts of data from various medical instruments and digital records of patients. To access data remotely from any geographical location, the healthcare industry is moving towards cloud computing. EHR and PHR are patient's digital records, which include sensitive information of patients. Apart from all the proficient service provided by cloud computing, security is a primary concern for various organizations. To address the security issue, several cryptographic techniques implemented by researchers worldwide. In this paper, a vigorous cryptographic method discussed which is implemented by combining DNA cryptography and Elliptic Curve Cryptography to protect sensitive data in the cloud.

Nowadays security of shared resources and big data is an important and critical issue. With the growth of information technology and social networks, data and resources are shared in the distributed environment such as cloud and fog computing. Various access control models protect the shared resources from unauthorized users or malicious intruders. Despite the attribute-based access control model that meets the complex security requirement of todays' new computing technologies, considerable anomalies and conflicts in ABAC policies affect the efficiency of the security system. One important and toughest task is policy validation thus to detect and eliminate anomalies and conflicts in policies. Though the previous researches identified anomalies, failed to detect and analyze all considerable anomalies that results vulnerable to hacks and attacks. The primary objective of this paper is to study and analyze the possible anomalies and conflicts in ABAC security policies. We have discussed and analyzed considerable conflicts in policies based on previous researches. This paper can provide a detailed review of anomalies and conflicts in security policies.
