摘要

5G连接和边缘计算（称为5G edge）的结合解除了医疗物联网（IoMT）的限制，并实现了大量真实的医疗保健服务，包括获取医疗信息和诊断。此外，恶意的内部人员使用5G Edge平台可能会危及IoMT数据的安全性和机密性。因此，终端用户无法信任5G Edge数据。材料和方法本文设想了一种新的分层区块链物联网边缘（HBEoT）架构，该架构将促进由区块链在网络边缘管理的医疗保健应用。此外，本文还将深入研究HBEoT如何提供安全服务，如对用户进行身份验证、保护数据、检测攻击和管理信任。首先，共识方法PoS为医疗保健数据生成一个块，其散列值保存在区块链中。零知识证明（ZKP）协议将秘密信息存储在区块链中，对医疗保健系统进行身份验证，以增强隐私性和安全性。结果为确保数据存储不可变，建议的架构将5G Edge服务器集成到区块链平台中。它通过充当匿名身份验证者来防止未经授权的用户访问医疗保健服务。我们从延迟、吞吐量、通信成本、能耗成本以及ZKP证明者和验证者之间的验证等方面评估了所提出方法的效率。结论我们通过多个实验来评估所建议框架的有效性。为了进一步研究质量度量，例如身份验证延迟，我们检查了吞吐量。为了满足支持5g的医疗保健系统的要求，研究表明，建议的HBEoT-ZKP可将延迟减少约1.16 s，并将吞吐量提高约339 tps。对通信和能源成本进行了评估，并与其他常规方法进行了比较。

Privacy-preserving authentication for 5G healthcare with HBZKP: Hierarchical blockchain-based zero knowledge proof for secure edge devices

Objective

The combination of 5G connectivity and edge computing known as 5G Edge, lifts the limitations of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and enables a plethora of authentic healthcare services, including access to medical information and diagnosis. Additionally, there is a chance that malicious insiders using the 5G Edge platform could compromise the security and confidentiality of IoMT data. As a result, end users cannot trust 5G Edge data.

Materials and methods

This paper imagines a new hierarchical blockchain edge of things (HBEoT) architecture that would facilitate healthcare applications managed by blockchain at the network edge. Additionally, the article delves into how HBEoT can offer security services such as authenticating users, protecting data, detecting attacks, and managing trust. First, the consensus method PoS generates a block for healthcare data, and its hash values are kept in the blockchain. The Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) protocol stores secret information in the blockchain, authenticating healthcare systems for enhanced privacy and security.

Results

To ensure immutable data storage, the suggested architecture incorporates 5G Edge servers into a blockchain platform. It prevents unauthorised users from accessing healthcare services by acting as an anonymous authenticator. We assessing the proposed methods efficiency in terms of latency, throughput, communication cost, energy consumption cost and the validation between ZKP prover and verifier.

Conclusion

We conduct multiple experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested framework. To further investigate the quality measures, such as authenticate latency, throughput rate was examined. To fulfil the requirements for a 5G-enabled healthcare system, the research shows that the suggested HBEoT-ZKP performs a decrease in latency of around 1.16 s and an improvement in throughput of approximately 339 tps. Communication and energy cost is evaluated and compared with other conventional methods.
