Healthcare data is crucial and sensitive because it contains information about a patient's medical history, treatments along with actions. This information is frequently shared among different stakeholders of the system. As patients' information is vital, therefore, it must be kept accurate, up to date, secret, and available only to those who are authorized to access the specified information. Centralized systems are commonly used to maintain healthcare records which increases the security risk. Therefore, this study focuses on protecting the privacy and security of sensitive healthcare documents while sharing them across multiple healthcare participants. In this work, we proposed a privacy-preserving access control framework based on blockchain technology that uses consensusdriven decentralized data management on top of peerto-peer distributed computing platforms to ensure the privacy, security, accessibility, and integrity of healthcare data. Blockchain technology helps to protect transactions from manipulation due to its irreversibility and immutability features. Furthermore, we comprehensively investigate the blockchain-enabled security requirements by including patients, doctors, chemists, and pathology labs as entities of the system that can share information through a proper channel. We have evaluated our proposed framework using Hyperledger Fabric and found

In the domain of e-government, the integration of multiple organizations is imperative for the effective delivery of public services through online platforms. This study examines a hyperledger fabric blockchain platform, which interconnects six organizations via a network of four distinct communication channels. A fuzzy logic-based mechanism has been employed to determine the optimal channel for executing transactions, contingent on client volume. A series of experiments were conducted to assess the system's performance in terms of throughput, latency, and scalability. These experiments varied parameters including transaction rates, block sizes, the number of participating organizations, and client count. It was observed that a multi-channel architecture significantly outperformed a singlechannel setup in enhancing throughput and reducing latency. The findings indicate that even with the expansion to six organizations and an increase in clients to two hundred, the deployment of a multi-channel structure only resulted in marginal throughput degradation and a modest latency increment when contrasted with a single-channel framework. Moreover, the strategic distribution of block sizes across the four channels was found to substantially bolster the scalability of the system. This facilitated the inclusion of additional clients and organizations with minimal impact on the overall system performance.

“…Permissioned blockchains are increasingly used in the industry and their applicability is constantly benchmarked and evaluated. Depending on the application domain, blockchain technology has benefits and drawbacks compared to traditional databases and approaches [29][30][31], but there is continuous effort being made to identify gaps and challenges in terms of performance (execution time, latency, and throughput), scalability, and applicability [32][33][34] in order to meet the evolving technological requirements by indicating suitable strategies that can be deployed in blockchain systems [35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

The world has become increasingly dependent on large-scale and distributed information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructures and systems in sectors such as energy, transport, banking, healthcare, water supply, and digital services, while their protection is considered of paramount importance and has already drawn remarkable attention from governments and key industry players. Establishing common approaches by leveraging existing frameworks and cyber security practices for improving the security postures of those systems is one of the major objectives for ensuring an adequate level of protection and avoiding the detrimental effects of disruptions on society and citizens. Configuration management (CM) is one of those common practices for establishing and maintaining the integrity and consistency of a system and its elements with regard to the function, performance, and status of technical and physical attributes, and it contributes to a desirable security posture throughout the lifecycle of a system. This study addresses the importance of CM, and while considering the corresponding frameworks, standards, and best practices, it proposes a permissioned blockchain-based approach, that inherits the benefits of the blockchain technology and ensures the integrity of the systems’ configuration across the complete lifecycle management of its products and services as an underlying model for mapping and integrating CM functions. Furthermore, this study briefly presents the benefits and challenges of the application of permissioned blockchain models and proposes a smart-contract-based role-based access control mechanism, in addition to presenting an operating concept based on brief but real-life lifecycle requirements of organizational configuration management.
