- Additional information
- Published in IEEE-JSAC, one of highest-ranked journals in data communication, the paper uses decoupled blockchains as the foundation for a significant new lightweight paradigm addressing the serious security concerns posed in the healthcare industry. The proposed solution is the culmination of much previous work, is scalable for wider industry-level adoption and will be influential in future healthcare security policy making. This solution represents the amalgamation of a number of the author's research stands to provide a solution which can also be leveraged in other inter-disciplinary applications that use edge and Internet-of-things devices for enhancing their overall security.
