A Novel Information Security Framework for Securing Big Data in Healthcare Environment Using Blockchain †

Abstract

The Blockchain-based information security framework for health care big data environments is a framework designed for the secure storage, access, and transmission of health care data in big data environments. It combines the privacy and security advantages of encryption and decentralized networks offered by Blockchain technology with the scalability of distributed systems to provide an effective secure platform for big data applications. The framework is based on the principles of confidentiality and immutability to ensure the security and privacy of health care data. The framework is designed to support a wide range of information sources and use cases including patient records, clinical research, medical imaging, genomic data, and pharmaceutical trials. It is also designed to be compatible with existing distributed computing and data querying technologies such as Hadoop and Spark, which will help organizations to improve the accessibility of health care data. The Blockchain-based framework will also provide an audit trail, allowing hospitals and other organizations to better monitor and control access to their data. This will enable organizations to ensure compliance with HIPAA and other regulations, while providing enhanced confidentiality and privacy to users and patients.
