“…Although recognizing the impending for imitation safety and strength in e-voting, it describes concerns like ballot validation, exposure to imitation, and least minimum calculation proficiency evaluation power in several current systems. To find out these challenges, this research work develops a homomorphic signcryption strategy for e-voting using blockchain technology [59].…”

The voting is always a crucial topic of public attention for democratic reasons. Due to its simplicity, ease of use, and low cost, e-voting is frequently used for such decision outcomes. The tremendous authority and intervening data in current e-voting systems, however, make them risky and make it difficult to achieve correct equity and clarity in e-voting. By combining e-voting with blockchain technology, these issues are resolved while providing reorganisation and intervention-resistant characteristics. A voter's improper manipulation, such as absenteeism, frequent voting, or non-party voting, may also undermine fairness. A verifier is therefore required to check the e-voting mechanism in order to ensure its effectiveness and control the process equality and fairness. In this paper, a Blockchain based e-Voting Mechanism (BVM) is developed for providing the end to end security and fairness for the transparent voting. This mechanism also provides a Zero-knowledge Proof (ZP) based verifier to inspect the voting procedure against voter`s misoperations and uses a Master-key Administration (MA) based public key cryptography to attack prevention. The utilization of blockchain technology ensures transparency, tamper resistance, and a high level of data integrity, making it a promising choice for modernizing and enhancing the electoral process. Also the performance of BVM has been compared and analysed based on time complexity, security analysis, performance factors like delay and throughput and antiattack examination.

“…Achievements: The block chain's decentralized approach discussed in this paper is considered to be safe and secure. Qu et al [20] proposed a technology for electronic voting in their paper which focuses on security and privacy issues by combining BC and homomorphic signcryption. Techniques used: Homomorphic signcryption technique in Hyperledger blockchain type is used to secure the voting ballots.…”

This research paper puts emphasis on using cloud computing with Blockchain (BC) to improve the security and privacy in a cloud. The security of data is not guaranteed as there is always a risk of leakage of users' data. Blockchain can be used in a multi-tenant cloud environment (MTCE) to improve the security of data, as it is a decentralized approach. Data is saved in unaltered form. Also, Blockchain is not owned by a single organization. The encryption process can be done using a Homomorphic encryption (HE) algorithm along with hashing technique, hereby allowing computations on encrypted data without the need for decryption. This research paper is composed of four objectives: Analysis of cloud security using Blockchain technology; Exceptional scenario of Blockchain architecture in an enterprise-level MTCE; Implementation of cipher-text policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) algorithm; Implementation of Merkle tree using Ethereum (MTuE) in a Multi-tenant system. Out of these four objectives, the main focus is on the implementation of CP-ABE algorithm. CP-ABE parameters are proposed for different levels of tenants. The levels include inner tenant, outer tenant, Inner-Outer-Tenant, Inner-Outer-External-Tenant, Outer-Inner-Tenant, External-Outer-Inner-Tenant and the parameters such as token, private key, public key, access tree, message, attribute set, node-level, cipher-text, salting which will help in providing better security using CP-ABE algorithm in a multitenant environment (MTE) where tenants can be provided with different levels of security and achieved 92 percentage of authenticity and access-control of the data.

“…Homomorphic encryption (Qu et al, 2020) can also be used to address the patient data privacy issue in a blockchain, where one can utilize, homomorphic encryption to store data over a blockchain with no significant changes in the properties of the blockchain. It also offers privacy protection and enables some form of computation over encrypted data without revealing the actual data.…”

Blockchain is regarded as a significant innovation and shows a set of promising features that can certainly address existing issues in real time applications. Decentralization, greater transparency, improved traceability and secure architecture can revolutionize healthcare systems. With the help of advancement in computer technologies, most healthcare institutions try to store patient data digitally rather than on paper. Electronic health records are regarded as some of the most important assets in healthcare system and are required to be shared among different hospitals and other organizations to improve diagnosis efficiency. While sharing patients' details, certain basic standards such as integrity and confidentiality of the information need to be considered. Blockchain technology provides the above standards with features of immutability and granting access to stored information only to authorized users. The examination approach depends on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (or PRISMA) rules and an efficient planned search convention is utilized to look through multiple scientific databases to recognize, investigate and separate every important publication. In this paper, we present a solid systematic review on the blockchain and healthcare domain to identify the existing challenges and benefits of applying blockchain technology in healthcare systems. More than 150 scientific papers published in the last ten years are surveyed, resulting in the identifications and summarization of observations made on the different privacy-preserving approaches and also assessment of their performances. We also present a significant architectural solutions of blockchain to achieve interoperability. Thereby, we attempt to analyse the ideas of blockchain in the medical domain, by assessing the advantages and limitations, subsequently giving guidance to other researchers in the area.
