Health data security sharing method based on hybrid blockchain

Abstract

With the rapid development of Internet of Things(IoT) technology, it is more and more common to use IoT devices to obtain health data. Health data sharing is a crucial component of health data utilization, yet it encounters serious privacy and security challenges. How to solve the problem of data security is the key factor to encourage users to participate, and existing data sharing methods generally have the problem of single point of failure. Based on this, this paper proposes a hybrid blockchain based health data sharing method HSHB, which divides sharing transactions into private chain data sharing and alliance chain data sharing according to different sharing entities. According to the identity and access purpose of different entities, HSHB has constructed the health data access control policy HDAC to avoid sharing interference among different entities. By building a b+ tree index of health data, HSHB provides users with an efficient and stable query scheme for historical health data. In addition, agent re-encryption and smart contract technology are used to share health data among institutions while ensuring the security of health data. Finally, the HSHB scheme is tested on XuperChain. The experimental results show that the health data sharing scheme HSHB proposed in this paper has advantages in computing overhead, throughput, and latency.
