Abstract

In the healthcare system and hospital environment, the data security and the data connectivity are the major factors to consider for patient data management system. For that, there are several techniques are used to preserve and arrange the patient data with enhanced security system. In that, Blockchain structure of data management improves the secure data storage and transmission process. In the data security system, the quality measure can be validate by means of the size of key that are used for the encryption process. Combined with the blockchain, the encryption model is to be improved for the solve the problem in data security system. This also needs to focus on the size reduction of data storage due to the large key size of encrypted data. In the proposed work, Intuitionistic Derivative Symmetrical Encryption (IDSE) Algorithm based security algorithm along with blockchain function was integrated to form the authorized data storage and transmission process. For the key pattern generation, Differential Hashing Pattern (DHP) based key pattern extraction model was used for high speed data transmission and to reduce the size of data that are encrypted.  The features that are considered for the appropriate security system are the data transmission pattern with respect to the time and the hashing model of key generation. In the result analysis, the performance of the IDSE-DHP are validated with the parameters of data transmission and loss rate in the Blockchain and with the throughput related features.
