Securing IoT-based healthcare systems from counterfeit medicine penetration using Blockchain

Modern ages have perceived an exemplar swing in warehousing electronic health records (EHRs) on cloud settings with the catholic solicitation of mobile healthcare systems, where mobile devices are assimilated by means of cloud computing to assist medicinal data interactions amid patients and surgeons. The distribution of EHRs has prodigious optimistic connotation for investigation of disease and doctors’ diagnosis. This radical model empowers healthcare amenities with truncated operating charge, high flexibility, as well as EHRs accessibility. It is of paramount significance to hitch therapeutic evidence sprinkled through healthcare establishments to provision exhaustive data investigation and accomplish custom-made healthcare. Nevertheless, this newfangled archetype also nurtures apprehensions about data privacy in addition to network security for healthcare schemes. Exactly how to steadfastly stake data among mobile consumers while pledging sophisticated security echelons in cloud is a perplexing concern. Blockchain, by means of a public ledger pigeonholed through its transparency, tamper-evidence, decentralization, unforgeability, verifiability, as well as anonymity can support in forming a secure healthcare scheme. Existing works primarily recompense devotion to centralized in addition to Blockchain-based mechanisms. Nonetheless, they could not acclimatize to the snowballing volume of global medical records and agonize from multifaceted application encounters, singly. In this paper, the authors recommend a Diagonal Digital Signature Algorithm (DDSA) with Merkle Patricia Hash Trie (MPHT) algorithm which is an innovative EHRs sharing framework that exploits Blockchain to expedite secure medical record sharing amid dissimilar patients and surgeons. The pragmatic outcomes illustrate that our scheme affords an operative elucidation for unswerving data interactions on cloud while conserving delicate medical records in contrast to impending intimidations. This work completely works for the Architecture of data can be shared in secured way in the IoT-based health care applications. In the proposed secure data sharing scheme for smart medical applications, the amount of exponential and bilinear mapping procedures in the course of decryption is habitually proportional to the complexity of access control policy. The scheme assessment along with the security investigation also exhibit the performance enhancements in light-weight access control; slightest network latency, transmission delay and file loss rate; with extraordinary security as well as data privacy, paralleled to the prevailing record sharing schemes.
