| description | Recently, as interest in individualized health has increased, the Personal Health Record (PHR) has attracted a lot of attention for prognosis predictions and accurate diagnoses. Cloud servers have been used to manage the PHR system, but privacy concerns are evident since cloud servers process the entire PHR, which contains the sensitive information of patients. In addition, cloud servers centrally manage the PHR system so patients lose direct control over their own PHR and cloud servers can be an attractive target for malicious users. Therefore, ensuring the integrity and privacy of the PHR and allocating authorization to users are important issues. In this paper, we propose a secure PHR sharing system using a blockchain, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), and smart contract to ensure PHR integrity and secure verification. To guarantee the patient’s authority over the management of his/her own PHR, as well as provide convenient access, we suggest a key aggregate dynamic searchable encryption. We prove the security of the proposed scheme through informal and formal analyses including an Automated Verification of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) simulation, Burrows–Abadi–Needham (BAN) logic, and security-model-based games. Furthermore, we estimate the computational costs of the proposed scheme using a Multiprecision Integer and Rational Arithmetic Cryptographic Library (MIRACL) and compare the results with those of previous works. |
