Abstract
Basically, the modern E-healthcare system is a Cloud-based system where all the details of Patient Health Information (PHI) on disease diagnosis and scan reports are stored and shared among the stockholders of the system. However, the security of these sensitive records against unauthorized access and misuse is of major concern. In this context, a Blockchain-based record-sharing system could play an important role for secure transactions of medical information. In this paper, a smart contracts and Inter Planetary File System (IPFS)-based secure medical image protection system has been proposed to encrypt the session data. Moreover, it records every transaction of patient data in the Blockchain for better traceability. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated in simulation to show its effectiveness.
