Abstract

Electronic health records (EHRs) are crucial digital documents that contain patient medical information. Medical data sharing faces critical challenges, including a lack of robust security mechanisms, inefficiencies in sharing data, and significant vulnerabilities in maintaining privacy for EHRs. To overcome these challenges, a novel Blockchain ORchestrated Encryption for medical data (BORE-MED) has been suggested to enhance the security for managing sensitive medical information (SMI) of EHR in the healthcare sector. The proposed methodology employs the Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) algorithm to encrypt the EHR data for enhancing data privacy. The Mirrored Byzantine Fault Tolerance (Mir-BFT) consensus algorithm is utilized securely storing and sharing EHRs. The proposed system has been evaluated using a Python simulator. The security of the suggested BORE-MED framework is 5.63%, 7.57%, and 8.9% higher than the existing BSC, BLE, and PPAC methods respectively. These findings reveal that the developed framework presents a secure data transmission in healthcare sector.

区块链通过基于属性的加密编排安全医疗数据传输

电子健康记录（EHRs）是包含患者医疗信息的重要数字文档。医疗数据共享面临着严峻的挑战，包括缺乏强大的安全机制、共享数据效率低下，以及在维护电子病历隐私方面存在重大漏洞。为了克服这些挑战，提出了一种新的区块链编排医疗数据加密（BORE-MED），以增强医疗保健部门EHR敏感医疗信息（SMI）管理的安全性。该方法采用基于属性的加密（ABE）算法对电子病历数据进行加密，以增强数据的保密性。镜像拜占庭容错（Mir-BFT）共识算法用于安全存储和共享电子病历。提出的系统已经使用Python模拟器进行了评估。与现有的BSC、BLE和PPAC方法相比，该框架的安全性分别提高了5.63%、7.57%和8.9%。这些发现表明，开发的框架提出了一个安全的数据传输在医疗保健部门。
