A Blockchain-Enabled Quantum Encryption Scheme for Securing Consumer-Centric Digital Twin Healthcare Networks

The integration of consumer-centric digital twin (CCDT) technology is set to transform healthcare systems, enabling blockchain-based solutions for enhanced medical services. By precisely simulating patients and medical processes, CCDT establish a link to the virtual healthcare environment, supporting improved diagnosis, real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics. Blockchain technology is critical in connecting the physical and virtual health care worlds, providing secure storage, efficient communication, reduced computational costs, and reliable hosting services. However, the security of patient data and its digital twin counterpart stored on the blockchain remains a potential vulnerability, as any alteration or unauthorized access to this information could pose significant risks. To address this challenge, we propose a blockchain-enabled quantum encryption protocol for CCDT healthcare networks to ensure secure communication. The proposed protocol leverages blockchain to authenticate patients without relying on third-party entities. At the same time, a secure quantum encryption mechanism ensures that CCDT do not need to authenticate repeatedly when interacting with multiple healthcare providers. A performance evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme compared to existing encryption methods. The results indicate that the suggested protocol is resilient against various security threats, showcasing its significant potential for enhancing communication security within CCDT healthcare networks.

A Secure Information Transmission Protocol for Healthcare Cyber Based on Quantum Image Expansion and Grover Search Algorithm

Zhiguo Qu, Hanrong Sun

In the healthcare cyber, the transmission of information between the head office and each sub-branch has always been a very important process. However, with the continuous development of network technology in recent years, its security has also been subjected to greater and greater tests. Based on quantum image expansion technology and Grover search algorithm, this paper proposes a more secure and large-capacity secure information transmission protocol for healthcare cyber. The new protocol embeds the secret information through three layers and encrypts it at the same time. Finally, the secret information is transmitted through quantum channel in the form of quantum state, which has very high security. At the same time, the new protocol is essentially a novel quantum image steganography protocol. The imperceptibility of the steganography protocol is essentially a higher level of security, which can effectively avoid various attacks and further guarantee the security of the information transmission process.
