A Secure BlockChain Framework for IoT Healthcare

Abstract

The medical industry is growing significantly along with emerging technologies like IoT., The fundamental idea behind integrating IoT into healthcare facilities is to enable it remotely accessible. The contact between patient and his doc tor is easy as well detection of disease. The purpose of this research is to provide a secure healthcare framework. This framework used blockchain technique to encrypt the patients' data on cloud servers. The blockchain is adopted in the healthcare industry since data is vulnerable to attacks and patients' record is having sensitive information that should be secure from attacks. For the last few years, different blockchain models have been put forth in the health system. However, these models' decentralized nature-a hallmark of blockchain technology-has led to the emergence of an issue known as illness overlaps as the chains expands. This problem is addressed using a blockchain, which has the ability to add a new block of data in the chain whenever there is an updating in patients' record. Additionally, multilayer blockchain approach is considered to secure the sensitive patient's data. This strategy protects data as well as maintain trust for the user. In this framework, AES 128-bit key is generated which is then provides support to SHA-256. Data is arranged into different blocks and then each block is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. A system is created to demonstrate how the suggested approach is applied in the real healthcare sector. The efficiency of the proposed framework is compared with the RSA and DSA that are the two widely used encryption methods. Such algorithms, which are essential to blockchain technology and are used in the proposed work, are later evaluated by comparing their performances to one another. According on research findings, the framework has the shortest encryption and decryption time, making its efficiency more reliable and effective. Additionally, it is more durable and effective.
