Abstract

Data security is vital for medical cyber physical system (MCPS). The decentralization feature of blockchain is helpful to solve the problem that the secure authentication process is highly dependent on the trusted third party and implement data security transmission. In this paper, the blockchain technology is used to describe the security requirements in authentication process. A network model of MCPS based on blockchain is proposed. Through analysis of medical data storage architecture, data was ensured not to be tampered and trackable. The security threat was eliminated by bilinear mapping in the authentication process of medical data providers and users. The credibility problem of the trusted third party was avoided and the two-way authentication was realized between the hospital and blockchain node. The security analysis and performance test were carried out to verify the security and related performance of the authentication protocol. The results show that the MCPS based on blockchain realizes medical treatment data sharing, and meets safety requirements in the security authentication phase.
