Abstract
The problem of data security in EHR is deeply concerning, as well as the methods used in session, feature, service, rule, and access restriction models. However, they fail to achieve higher security performance, which degrades the trust of data owners. To handle this issue, an efficient Adaptive Feature Centric Polynomial (AFCP) data security model is described here. The proposed method can be adapted to enforce security on any kind of data. The AFCP scheme classifies the features of EHR data under different categories based on their importance in being identified from the data taxonomy. By maintaining different categories of data encryption schemes and keys, the model selects a specific key for a unique feature with the use of the polynomial function. The method is designed to choose a dynamic polynomial function in the form of m(x) n, where the values of m and n are selected in a dynamic way. The method generates a blockchain according to the feature values and adapts the cipher text generated by applying a polynomial function to data encryption. The same has been reversed to produce the original EHR data by reversing the operation. The method enforces the Healthy Trust Access Restriction scheme in restricting malicious access. By adapting the AFCP model, the security performance is improved by up to 98%, and access restriction performance is improved by up to 97%. The proposed method increases the access restriction performance in the ratio of 19%, 16%, and 11% to HCA-ECC, EHRCHAIN, and PCH methods. Similarly, security performance is increased by 17% 13%, and 11% to HCA-ECC, EHRCHAIN, and PCH methods.
