A blockchain-enabled healthcare system (HSBC) proposed for revocable attribute-based digital signature and access control [40, 41]The highlight of this paper is
(i) Proposed attribute-based signature scheme
(ii) With attribute revocation
(iii) For the purpose to protect the privacy of the registered patients
(iv) Patient’s identity in HS-BC
The main features of the proposed model are discussed as follows:
(i) Security: blockchain
(ii) Network: public network
(iii) Ledger protection mechanism: blockchain-based predefined protection
(iv) Hyperledger: no hyperledger
(v) Consensus: predefined
(vi) Node size: not defined
(vii) Storage: cloud storage
(viii) Response: not applicable
(ix) Transactions executions delay: not applicable
(x) User: patients
The proposed blockchain hyperledger fabric-enabled secure distributed e-healthcare architecture is designed for scheduling and managing DIKW medical processes in a protected manner. The main attributed and architectural features are defined as follows:
(i) Security: blockchain-enabled privacy and security
(ii) Network: consortium network structure
(iii) Ledger protection mechanism: hash-based encryption (SHA-256)
(iv) Hyperledger: fabric
(v) Consensus: customized consensus policies (shown in contract 1)
(vi) Node size: variable in between 2-4 MB
(vii) Storage: IPFS
(viii) Response: depend of traffic/direct
(ix) Transactions executions delay: less delay
(x) User: distributed e-healthcare registered patients
A secure and scalable control policy and access management for healthcare system using collaborative blockchain, IoT, and artificial intelligence techniques [4143]The paper discussed the collaborative nature and the impact of the current e-healthcare systems. The contribution of this paper are as follows:
(i) An enhanced Bell–LaPadula is used to scalable digital ledger
(ii) Dynamic access control policies developed by creating smart contracts using blockchain
(iii) Provide dynamic access control and functionality
(iv) Other state-of-the-art is used artificial neural network technique for classification of medical records for focusing on the personal healthcare records
(v) IoT-blockchain-enabled real-time monitoring and medical diagnostic-based on four layers of data processes
The critical characteristics and attributes of the proposed model are discussed as follows:
(i) Security: blockchain
(ii) Network: public network
(iii) Ledger protection mechanism: blockchain-based predefined protection
(iv) Hyperledger: no hyperledger
(v) Consensus: predefined
(vi) Node size: not defined
(vii) Storage: cloud storage
(viii) Response: not applicable
(ix) Transactions executions delay: not applicable
(x) User: patients
