Recently, with the rapid development and implementation of wireless medical sensors, electronic healthcare (e-healthcare) has gained increasing popularity. Monitor and record some vital parameters of patients are of importance to know the patient’s health condition. But malicious attacks happen occasionally, which may cause the patient-related data being leaked or modified. In this paper, we made a survey about some researches in the domain of e-healthcare for its data security and privacy issues, such as the security issues of the distributed data storage in wireless body area networks (WBANs) and the privacy of the patient-related information stored in the database of the medical organization systems. We also proposed a general three-tier medical architecture and discussed its security issues in detail. Finally, we concluded some of the achievements from our references.
