Privacy Preservation and Access Control for Sharing Electronic Health Records Using Blockchain Technology

Insaf Boumezbeur, Karim Zarour

Sharing of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is of significant importance in health care. Lately, a cloud-based electronic health record sharing scheme has been used extensively to share patient records among various healthcare organizations. However, cloud centralization may compromise patients’ privacy and security. Due to the special features of blockchain, it is important to see this technology as a promising solution to resolve these issues. This article proposes a privacy-preserving, secure EHR sharing and access control framework based on blockchain technology. The proposal aims to implement EHR blockchain technology and ensure that electronic records are stored safely by specifying user access permissions. We emulate the cryptographic primitives and use smart contracts to describe the relationships between the EHR owner and EHR user through the proposed system on the Ethereum blockchain. We assess the proposal results based on encryption and decryption time and the costs of the smart contract. The encryption and decryption times are proportional to the size of the EHR, which varies from 128 KB to 128 MB. When it comes to encryption, the smallest EHR takes 0.0012 s to encrypt, while the largest EHR, which is 128 MB, takes 1.4149 s. On the other hand, a 128 KB EHR takes 0.0013 s to decrypt, whereas a 128 MB EHR requires 1.6284 s. As a result, performance evaluation and security analysis confirm that the proposal is secure for practical application.

CertificateChain: decentralized healthcare training certificate management system using blockchain and smart contracts

Jeffrey Tellew, Tsung-Ting Kuo

Objective: Managing training certificates is an important issue in research that can lead to serious issues if not addressed properly. For institutions that currently do not have a dedicated management system for these training certificates, a central database is the most typical solution. However, such a system suffers from several risks, such as a single-point-of-failure. Materials and Methods: To address this issue, we developed and evaluated CertificateChain, a decentralized training certificate management system by using peer-to-peer blockchain and automated smart contracts. We developed an efficient certificate dividing-and-merging algorithm to overcome the transaction size limit on blockchain. Results: We performed experiments on the system to evaluate its performance, then created a web app and tested the system in a real-world scenario. CertificateChain scaled linearly in terms of time compared with the total number of certificates added and could be quickly queried for existing data stored on-chain. Discussion: CertificateChain was able to store and retrieve the training certificates on the blockchain network, with limitations including a comparative analysis of other systems, evaluation of different consensus protocols, examining certificates off-chain, a thorough comparison with a centralized system, and the extension to the main public Ethereum network. Conclusion: We believe that these results indicate that blockchain technology could be a viable decentralized alternative to traditional databases in this use case.

The purposes are to investigate how blockchain can solve the security problems in Intelligent Autonomous Transport System (IATS) and intelligentize the logistics transportation development. Regarding the scarcity of trust and concentration of rights caused by the centralized structure of traditional logistics information systems, a blockchain-based IATS is proposed. The system employs Ethereum as the underlying blockchain to record sensitive information, such as system orders, cargos, and personnel information on the blockchain, ensuring the non-tampering and credibility of data. Simultaneously, an order management module, a warehouse management module, a transportation management module, a transaction management module, and a system management module are established. In the meantime, the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) algorithm is utilized to recommend vehicle and cargo matching during transportation. Finally, the constructed algorithm model is simulated to analyze its performance. Results demonstrate that the security prediction accuracy of the proposed algorithm reaches 88.72%; moreover, the security prediction precision, recall, and F1 of the proposed algorithm are considerably better than those of other algorithms. Furthermore, the actual effect of each algorithm is analyzed. The LightGBM algorithm outperforms other algorithms and unused algorithms in click rate, conversion rate, turnover rate, and average response time. Therefore, the constructed blockchain-based IATS has excellent security performance and prediction accuracy, which provides an experimental basis for the later intelligent logistics transportation development.
