Distributed Diagnoses Based on Constructing a Private Chain via a Public Network

Secure online consultations can provide convenient medical services to patients who require experts from different regions. Moreover, this process can save time, which is critical in emergency cases, and cut medical costs. However, medical services need a high level of privacy protection that advances the difficulty of a construction method. It is a good idea to construct a virtual private chain through public networks by means of cryptology and identity verification. For this purpose, novel protocols are proposed to finish the package layout, secure transmission, and authorization. By mining the special characteristics of this application, two different kinds of encryption channels were designed to support the proposed protocol to ensure the secure transmission of data. And Hash values and multiple checking were employed in the transmission package to find the incompleteness of data related to network errors or attacks. Besides the secure communication of medical information, the Extended Chinese Remainder Theorem was utilized to finish the approval during a change in committee in emergency situations. Finally, example case was used to verify the effectiveness of the total methods.
