Abstract
Access control is a critical component of medical health record management, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive patient data. Existing access control schemes suffer from limitations such as inefficiency, lack of patient control, and inadequate protection mechanisms. In this paper, we propose an advanced, efficient and enhancing Health Record Security and Privacy with Blockchain-based Access Management. Our proposed scheme leverages the benefits of blockchain technology to provide a decentralized, secure, and transparent access control framework that gives patients greater control over their data while also providing efficient protection mechanisms. The proposed scheme’s access control mechanisms include authentication, authorization, and auditing, while its protection mechanisms include data encryption, digital signatures, and privacy-preserving techniques. The patient control features of the proposed scheme include consent management and revocation. We evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed scheme using performance metrics and benchmarking results. Our results Show that the suggested plan is more effective than the current ones in terms of efficiency, patient control, and protection mechanisms. The proposed scheme represents a significant step forward in the management of medical health records, providing a secure, efficient, and patient-centric access control framework that ensures privacy and confidentiality while also enabling effective healthcare delivery.
