Abstract

With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors, personal health data can be collected by wearable devices. However, one of the biggest concerns about the storage and use of sensitive personal health data is privacy. To address this issue, we propose a new Multi-Ledger Coordinating Mechanism (MLCM) with blockchain for trustworthy data sharing under the control of each individual data owner. MLCM, enabled by smart contracts, lets an individual user control and manage all his/her own data in a flexible way and enhances data security and privacy preservation in user authentication and management. Also, all activities related to data access are monitored and further recorded in blockchain. The evaluation experiment is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed mechanism, and the result shows that the prototype implementation of one smart contract based on Hyperledger Fabric is stable.
