Secure data sharing technology of medical privacy data in the Web 3.0

Abstract The development of Web 3.0 technology may signify the dawn of a new digital era. Its concepts of co‐management, co‐construction, and sharing address the need for private data sharing among medical institutions. However, the sharing of private data has been challenging due to the lack of effective monitoring methods and authorization mechanisms. Additionally, controlling the scope of data sharing, providing incentives, and ensuring legal compliance have presented difficulties. To this end, a medical privacy data security sharing model based on key technologies of Web 3.0 has been proposed and implemented. It stores the source data in Inter Planetary File System by constructing an index of private data keywords, generates trapdoors using query keywords, and achieves retrieval of ciphertext data. Finally, data users apply to multiple parties for joint secure computing to obtain the use of private data. The experimental results indicate that when the size of the private data is less than 5 MB, with 3000 ciphertext indexes and three search keywords, both encryption and decryption times are around 50 ms, and the retrieval time is approximately 1.6 s. This performance is adequate for typical medical privacy sharing and computing scenarios.
