University Project: Designing Data Encryption System for EHR Security

This project proposal outlines the design of a data encryption system for Electronic Health Records (EHR) to enhance data security and confidentiality. The student identifies the lack of robust data protection in current EHR systems as a key problem, proposing a system that employs AES 256-bit encryption and access restrictions. The project follows an agile methodology, detailing phases from initiation to closure, including functional requirements such as accessibility, authentication, and data encryption. The implementation proposal involves hardware, software (AESCrypt), and a tech stack focused on data security. The expected outcome is a tangible system that addresses data security concerns, mitigates risks, and ensures the integrity of patient information within the EHR. The project aims to improve data management and protect against unauthorized access and data breaches, providing a secure and reliable EHR environment.
