Abstract

Electronic medical records have the advantages of large storage capacity, convenience, improved efficiency, etc. However, since electronic medical records contain a large amount of patient’s private information, if they are stored directly in the cloud server, patients may face the risk of privacy data leakage and electronic medical record data tampering. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a secure sharing scheme of electronic medical records combining quantum key and blockchain. Based on the true randomness of quantum keys, the multi-user secure forwarding mechanism of quantum keys is designed using proxy re-encryption technology and blockchain. A fine-grained access control scheme for electronic medical records by users with different roles was proposed using data desensitization technology. To facilitate secure retrieval from the cloud server, searchable encryption technology is used. This paper analyzes the comprehensive performance level of the proposed scheme through blockchain performance testing and system efficiency testing.
