“…Previous studies have suggested that digital passport applicants must create their accounts before proceeding with subsequent operations and procedures [ 16 , 25 ]. Since someone may apply for an account with another’s identification, this study suggests that accounts be created through the government unit or local government health unit audit (Steps 1 and 2).…”

The COVID-19 virus has been spreading worldwide on a large scale since 2019, and the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 is to vaccinate. In order to prove that vaccination has been administered to allow access to different areas, paper vaccine passports are produced. However, paper vaccine passport records are vulnerable to counterfeiting or abuse. Previous research has suggested that issuing certificates digitally is an easier way to verify them. This study used the consortium blockchain based on Hyperledger Fabric to upload the digital vaccine passport (DVP) to the blockchain network. In order to enable collaboration across multiple systems, networks, and organizations in different trust realms. Federated Identity Management is considered a promising approach to facilitate secure resource sharing between collaborating partners. Therefore, the international federal identity management architecture proposed in this study enables inspectors in any country to verify the authenticity of the DVP of incoming passengers using the consortium blockchain. Through practical construction, the international federal Hyperledger verification framework for the DVP proposed in this study has shown the feasibility of issuing a global DVP in safety analysis and efficacy testing.

After the COVID-19 bursts out, all the world has been affected and the worldwide economy is struck because people cannot go out freely and more people tend to stay home due to the coronavirus. Therefore, it is important to think about some solutions to let the citizens travel freely as well as keep them safe. That's one of the reasons why the vaccination passport occurs. Although there are some quite successful vaccination passports, there still exist different problems for the passport. Privacy protection, less complexity, less consumption are the main advantages of our vaccination passport. Because most scruples of the vaccination passport are that whether citizens can use it without submitting much personal information or whether it can prove that people have been vaccinated simply, our vaccination passport aims to increase these parts compared to other vaccination passports. We use blockchain technology which is a kind of decentralized technology to keep individual privacy. Meanwhile, we need less information from the user but a picture. To simplify our vaccination passport, there only are 2 main parts which are the user part and the hospital part. To show the identity that you have been vaccinated, people just need to show the QR code generated by the system and the color of the system will show whether you have the right to go out. All in all, our vaccination passport realizes privacy protection, less complexity, less consumption based on the blockchain and p2p network technology.

“…The authors of Reference 20 discussed a BC‐based system that integrated testing and vaccination system to be transparent. An efficient vaccination system was implemented, termed the “Digital Vaccine Passport” (DVP) system, yet the article lacks security at the doctor‐patient level, a reading map of the work, and an in‐depth analysis of the patients based on medical features.…”

Blockchain systems have seen vast growth due to the immense potential in developing secure applications for education, healthcare, and so forth. The healthcare system is extensively researched to provide convenience to human life. With the exponential growth in healthcare systems and devices, patient data security and privacy issues are becoming primary concerns. Blockchain is emerging as a solution to secure healthcare records, but it faces certain shortcomings like transaction time, execution time, gas cost consumption, bandwidth utilization, and so forth. The current article designed an extensive blockchain‐based healthcare system (MyEasyHealthcare) with reduced gas consumption, transaction cost, execution cost, and bandwidth utilization, along with enhanced security at three levels. At the first level, the professionals and patients get registered, which provides identity access management. Secondly, authorization is required for each registered entity by the owners. Lastly, the third level includes a doctor‐patient relationship where the hospital's owner assigns a patient to a particular doctor. The data is protected from the outer world and is preserved only between the doctor and the patient. Moreover, to include the majority of tasks for hospital management, the developed system incorporates a smart contract to record seven different parameters for patient diagnosis by a physician and 15 different parameters by a pathologist. The designed system is evaluated for the amount of gas consumed, transaction cost, execution cost, and bandwidth utilization by simulating/executing the written smart contract on InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Remix to check the feasibility of the developed system (MyEasyHealthcare) for the real world; the results testify the proposed system is useful in the real world.
