Abstract

This study introduces an Ant Lion-based Advanced Encryption Standard with Blockchain (ALAESB) model to enhance security and privacy in healthcare data management. Utilizing cloud storage, Electronic Health Records (EHR) are encrypted using AES and authenticated via blockchain. The methodology integrates hash functions and Merkle trees for data validation and secure block storage. Key generation is optimized through antlion fitness updates, ensuring efficient encryption and decryption processes. The model aims to mitigate privacy risks and secure patient data access for healthcare providers, emphasizing reliability and integrity in medical data handling.
