Privacy-Protection Scheme Based on Sanitizable Signature for Smart Mobile Medical Scenarios

With the popularization of wireless communication and smart devices in the medical field, mobile medicine has attracted more and more attention because it can break through the limitations of time, space, and objects and provide more efficient and quality medical services. However, the characteristics of a mobile smart medical network make it more susceptible to security threats such as data integrity damage and privacy leakage than those of traditional wired networks. In recent years, many digital signature schemes have been proposed to alleviate some of these challenges. Unfortunately, traditional digital signatures cannot meet the diversity and privacy requirements of medical data applications. In response to this problem, this paper uses the unique security attributes of sanitizable signatures to carry out research on the security and privacy protection of medical data and proposes a data security and privacy protection scheme suitable for smart mobile medical scenarios. Security analysis and performance evaluation show that our new scheme effectively guarantees data security and user privacy while greatly reducing computation and communication costs, making it especially suitable for mobile smart medical application scenarios.
