With the current trends in information and communication technology in healthcare system, such as the cloud computing and ubiquitous computing, where small computers are being embedded in almost every day object around us using both mobile devices as well as wireless connections for recording, storage and delivery of medical data, the possibly of attack on these records becomes more likely.
