The development of Electronic Information Technology has made the Electronic Medical Record a commonly used approach to recording and categorizing medical patient data in databases of different hospitals and medical entities so that controlling the shared data is not possible for patients at all. The importance of medical data as possessions of people and the system leads us to be concerned about its security, privacy, and accessibility. How to store and controlling access to medical information is of the most important challenges in the electronic health area. The present paper provides a new, secure, and efficient scheme based on blockchain technology and attribute-based encryption entitled “MedSBA” to record and store medical data, indicating that our proposed scheme protects user privacy and allows fine-grain access control of medical patient data based on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Private blockchains are used in MedSBA to improve the right to revoke instant access which is of the attribute-based encryption challenges. The security and functionality of our proposed scheme are proved within a formal model and based on BAN logic, respectively; simulating the MedSBA scheme in the OPNET software as well as examining its computational complexity and storage indicates the efficiency of the present scheme.
