“…After all the findings for cloud-based e-health system security we would like to recommend to consider the papers ( [68], [78], [81], [82], [85]) on blockchain-based mechanism as it is more trending in recent days, the papers ( [74], [75], [76], [80]) on biometric-based mechanism for mobile devices. If anyone considering cryptographic methods for securing cloud-based e-health system then they should consider the papers ( [27], [30], [31], [42], [43], [63], [64] for AES based), ( [43], [64], [69] for RSA based) and ( [38], [42], [51], [53], [63], [65] for ABE based) hybrid system.…”

INTRODUCTION: The e-health (electronic health) system is one of many cloud services which uses computer or electronic systems and cloud technology as its main source of operations for storing and sharing patient's medical data between healthcare service providers and patients. The health data records are kept in a semi-trusted third-party supplier (i.e., cloud). Therefore, its security has become the main concern as the data should not be accessible to unauthorized person. OBJECTIVES: To provide a brief knowledge on the security aspects of cloud-based e-health systems for further improvement in the field of e-health system security. METHODS: This paper presents a literature survey on secure cloud-based e-health systems including ninety-four research papers related to secure cloud-based e-health systems collected from different sources till 2019. RESULTS: The security mechanisms used to secure cloud-based e-health systems are divided into three categories (i.e., crypto, non-crypto, and biometric-based). Also some health related security laws, security mechanisms, advantages and limitations of security mechanisms for all categories are presented. CONCLUSION: This paper will be helpful to do further researches in the research area of e-health system as it consists of the analysis of security mechanisms, security laws, advantages and limitations of the security mechanisms.

“…Here, FPB is used as the classical database for the healthcare institute and CB is used for storing the medical data from all participating medicals. It provides tamperresistant and reliable storage [68]. In [56], the Watermarking approach used can mitigate insider threats to the e-health system.…”

“…Most papers analysed did not discuss development strategy, yet a few mentioned their system as either open source or having an Open API or proprietary, and again most did not discuss this as shown in Figure 17. Only the following papers reviewed papers discussed one or more of the following consensus algorithms: Proof-of-Work [27], [31], [38], [40], [41], [44]- [46], [50], [70], [75], [77], [80], [84], [87], [92], [96], [98], [106], [108], [118], [122], [127], Proof-of-Stake [114], [115], [124], [125], Proof-of-Existence [28], Proof-of-Information [62], Delegated-Proof-of-Stake [34], [121], [166], Hybrid-Delegated-Proof-of-Stake [85], [90], Delegated-Proof-of-Work [103], Proof-of-Disease [59], Proof-of-Authority [143], and Proof-of-Familiarity [158].…”

A Systematic Review of Blockchain in Healthcare: Frameworks, Prototypes, and Implementations

Blockchain, a form of distributed ledger technology has attracted the interests of stakeholders across several sectors including healthcare. Its' potential in the multi-stakeholder operated sector like health has been responsible for several investments, studies, and implementations. Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems traditionally used for the exchange of health information amongst healthcare stakeholders have been criticised for centralising power, failures and attack-points with exchange data custodians. EHRs have struggled in the face of multi-stakeholder and system requirements while adhering to security, privacy, ethical and other regulatory constraints. Blockchain is promising amongst others to address the many EHR challenges, primarily trustless and secure exchange of health information amongst stakeholders. Many blockchain-in-healthcare frameworks have been proposed; some prototyped and/or implemented. This study leveraged the PRISMA framework to systematically search and evaluate the different models proposed; prototyped and/or implemented. The bibliometric and functional distribution of all 143 articles from this study were presented. This study evaluated 61 articles that discussed either prototypes or pilot or implementations. The technical and architectural analysis of these 61 articles for privacy, security, cost, and performance were detailed. Blockchain was found to solve the trust, security and privacy constraints of traditional EHRs often at significant performance, storage and cost trade-offs.

“…Han et al apply blockchain to medical data storage to build a decentralized, secure, tamperresistant health information storage system in Reference [95]. To improve the latency of data validation, the system utilizes a hybrid health blockchain, which combines the consortium and private blockchains.…”

The paths leading to future networks are pointing towards a data-driven paradigm to better cater to the explosive growth of mobile services as well as the increasing heterogeneity of mobile devices, many of which generate and consume large volumes and variety of data. These paths are also hampered by significant challenges in terms of security, privacy, services provisioning, and network management. Blockchain, which is a technology for building distributed ledgers that provide an immutable log of transactions recorded in a distributed network, has become prominent recently as the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies and is revolutionizing data storage and processing in computer network systems. For future data-driven networks (DDNs), blockchain is considered as a promising solution to enable the secure storage, sharing, and analytics of data, privacy protection for users, robust, trustworthy network control, and decentralized routing and resource managements. However, many important challenges and open issues remain to be addressed before blockchain can be deployed widely to enable future DDNs. In this article, we present a survey on the existing research works on the application of blockchain technologies in computer networks and identify challenges and potential solutions in the applications of blockchains in future DDNs. We identify application scenarios in which future blockchain-empowered DDNs could improve the efficiency and security, and generally the effectiveness of network services.
