Electronic medical records protection framework based on quantum blockchain for multiple hospitals

Nowadays, electronic medical records are increasing rapidly. Electronic medical records consist of sensitive and confidential information. These pieces of information need to be protected from attackers during the exchange with patients. Securing sensitive and confidential information is one of the major challenges of information sharing techniques. Blockchain technology can protect information from attackers during the exchange of information. There are existed various classical techniques to protect electronic medical records. These techniques can exchange information correctly but cannot resist collective and coherent attacks and have more communication and computation costs. This paper introduced an electronic medical records protection framework to protect electronic medical records across multiple hospitals. The experimental results shows that the proposed technique can resist the intercept, intercept-resend, entangle-measure, man-in-the-middle, collective, and coherent attacks with less communication and computation costs.

Automated summary

Protecting electronic medical records is crucial, and blockchain technology is a promising solution. This study introduces a framework for safeguarding electronic medical records across multiple hospitals, demonstrating its effectiveness in resisting various attacks with lower communication and computation costs.
