Blockchain-Based Healthcare Information Preservation Using Extended Chaotic Maps for HIPAA Privacy/Security Regulations

Abstract

A healthcare information system allows patients and other users to remotely login to medical services to access health data through the Internet. To protect the privacy of patients and security over the public network, secure communication is required. Therefore, the security of data in transmission has been attracting increasing attention. In recent years, blockchain technology has also attracted more attention. Relevant research has been published at a high rate. Most methods of satisfying relevant security-related regulations use modular and exponential calculation. This study proposes a medical care information preservation mechanism that considers the entire process of data storage in devices from wearable devices to mobile devices to medical center servers. The entire process is protected and complies with HIPAA privacy and security regulations. The proposed scheme uses extended chaotic map technology to develop ID-based key negotiation for wearable devices, and thereby reduces the amount of computing that must be carried out by wearable devices and achieve lightness quantify. It also uses the non-tamperability of the blockchain to ensure that the data have not been tampered with, improving data security. The proposed mechanism can resist a variety of attacks and is computationally lighter than the elliptic curve point multiplication that has been used elsewhere, while retaining its security characteristics.

Clinical Impact of “Real World Data” and Blockchain on Public Health: A Scoping Review

“…The literature on this subject does not show any concrete approach to the problem of privacy protection; the potential solutions hypothesised here converge on two aspects that characterise BC and that could reduce the problem of data protection: the decentralisation of consent and the cryptographic system [2,46,61,62].…”

The Effect of Blockchain using Big data and the Internet of Things in Healthcare

“…Users are supplied with the option to independently check the chain's validity via distributed data storage and verification. [3] Blockchain technology will help in saving all information for one patient in a block taking its hash function as a reference to another block, to build up a chain of blocks that configure a blockchain. Internet of Thing (IoT), which help in collecting data from cloud sources or databases that have the patient information got from sensors applied in bracelets, watches, and electronic cards.…”

“…We decided on this course of action to protect the privacy of our patients. This information must be protected from both unauthorized access and prying eyes [3]. Tian-Fu Lee, et al proposed a mechanism for preserving medical information that considers the entire process of data from data generation through transmission by wearable devices to mobile devices and then to a medical Center server [4].…”

“…The Vatican Library, which possesses more than two million books, uses a technology called radio frequency identification (RFID) to speed up inventory and book searches, automate book distribution, and assist in the prevention of theft. Over seven hundred of the major libraries in the world have either already accepted this technology or are in the process of adopting it [2,3]. RFID chips are being embedded into all newly issued passports by a growing number of countries throughout the globe.…”

Quality Evaluation for Reconstructing Chaotic Attractors

“…Chaotic behavior has many applications in various domains, such as communications [12], control theory [13], music [14], meteorology or blockchain [15]. This paper aims to define a concept meant to characterize the quality of dynamical systems.…”
