A FEDERATED STORAGE SAFEGUARDING MECHANISM EMPLOYING HEURISTIC-DRIVEN ATTRIBUTE CRYPTOGRAPHY INTEGRATED WITH AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTED LEDGERS

Abstract

The fast growth of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has made it much harder to manage and protect medical data because of security and privacy issues. This paper suggests a secure federated cloud storage system that uses a hybrid heuristic attribute-based encryption (ABE) scheme combined with a permissioned Blockchain to solve these problems. The suggested system improves data privacy and integrity by first gathering medical data and then encrypting it with ABE using the best key made by the Hybrid Mexican Axolotl with Energy Valley Optimizer (HMO-EVO). A permissioned blockchain securely stores the encrypted data, making sure that access is tightly controlled and that data breaches are avoided. The system uses federated learning with a Multi-scale Bi-Long Short-Term Memory and Gated Recurrent Unit (MBiLSTM-GRU) to make accurate predictions about diseases. This helps with healthcare monitoring. This federated approach lets deep learning models be trained in different places, keeping patient data private while still allowing for collective learning. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system surpasses traditional methods regarding security, efficiency, and predictive accuracy. This study presents an extensive framework for the secure management of medical data, integrating the advantages of federated learning and blockchain technology to tackle the essential challenges of data ownership, regulatory adherence, and privacy within IoMT networks.
