Abstract

The convergence with the emerging digital twin technology has been envisaged as the looming of a smart cloud-based healthcare system. Precision clone simulation of the patients and medical service builds a bridge to the virtual medical world, enabling diagnosing, monitoring, and future prediction to offer enhanced medical services. Cloud services provider plays a crucial role in endowing a way to interlink the physical world to the virtual medical world through outsourced storage, a communication platform, reduced computational cost, and the relevance of hosting and other services over the internet offered by it. However, any alteration, deviation, or amendment of the physical patient’s and its digital twin’s stored data in the cloud storage has been one of the security liabilities. In this work, we propose a blockchain-assisted certificateless public auditing mechanism for the cloud-based digital twin healthcare networks to substantiate the data integrity in cloud storage. Blockchain in the proposed mechanism enables keeping the auditing process and outsourcing activities log. Meanwhile, it also enjoys the benefits of batch auditing and pairing-free operations. The proposed work is demonstrated to be provably secure and efficient in achieving security goals like storage correctness, privacy-preserving, and public verifiability. Furthermore, the computational overhead of the presented work is shown to be efficient with contrasted with some existing works.
