Privacy Protection of Secure Sharing Electronic Health Records Based on Blockchain

The secure sharing and privacy protection of medical data have become pain points for medical data management platforms. Therefore, a secure sharing electronic health record privacy protection method based on blockchain is proposed in the study, aiming to improve data security privacy and ensure absolute ownership of patients' medical data. Attribute encryption and blockchain computing are utilized to construct a data secure sharing model, and zero-knowledge proof and ElGamal encryption algorithms are introduced to further improve the construction of data privacy protection methods. Experimental verification showed that the data secure sharing method proposed in the study has more advantages in terms of production key size and time cost. Compared with other public recognition mechanisms, zero-knowledge proof reduced the average time cost of generating keys by 54.36%. The proposed data privacy protection method had an average increase of 7.73% in protection effectiveness compared to other methods. The results indicate that the data secure sharing and privacy protection methods proposed in the study can improve the overall performance and security of the system while fully ensuring the absolute ownership of patients' data. This method has positive application value in the privacy protection of medical data.
