[Retracted] Electronic Healthcare Data Record Security Using Blockchain and Smart Contract

Table 1

This and other articles are compared.

AttributesThe following are some of the high points of our proposed systemThe following are some of the high points of other articles

The multiparty authenticationOur system is governed by a single institution or authority, making it difficult to transfer sensitive information about a person to avoid illegal use of the data. Any authority needs to ask for permission from other legal bodies, even in an emergency.This particular paper confirms that they have the facility for multiparty authentication. It means any organization can access the data from this system and utilize it as they want [22].
Smart contractsWe use MetaMask for the smart contract wallet in our paper. Without deploying a complete Ethereum node, MetaMask allows users to sign smart contracts and interact with Ethereum blockchains (distributed Ethereum-based programs). On a different node, you do not need to download the Ethereum blockchain in order to utilize the Ethereum network. That is a good thing because the blockchain file is enormous.The other paper we are comparing did not utilize any smart contracts at all. They are utilizing blockchain, which is a distributed digital network constructed and maintained by computers running particular software. As a result, only the blockchain is used for digital transactions [21].
The access controlOur system has a customized access property. Not everyone is allowed to enter all the icons. There are particular accessible facilities available.This system cannot control access. It is open to all, as the paper describes [21].
ManageabilityOur system can help government agencies manage trusted information by making it simpler for them to access and use vital public-sector data while protecting the information’s security, such as in the healthcare sector. A blockchain is a secure platform that stores an encrypted digital record on numerous computers. It is comprised of documents or blocks of data. These blocks, once assembled into a chain, cannot be changed or deleted by a single actor; instead, they must be verified and managed using technology and common governance rules.In this particular paper, the authors mentioned their management system in detail, though they are also working with blockchain. But this is kind of vague [22].
Content addressable storageWe built the system based on IPFS features. This is a distribution system that uses a peer-to-peer version-controlled file system with a content-addressable block storage format. We are saving the file on IPFS and sending the addressable content (hash) to the blockchain as a transaction in this framework. We’re saving the file on IPFS and sending the addressable content (hash) to the blockchain as a transaction in this framework.The authors of this paper provided no indication of the content addressable in their writing [22].
