The decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain technology offers promising avenues for secure healthcare data sharing among legitimate institutions. However, current blockchain systems face critical bottlenecks in handling large volumes of medical data, low storage efficiency, and vulnerabilities in security. To overcome these challenges, a novel healthcare blockchain data-sharing scheme integrating Secure Multi-party Computation (SMPC) is proposed. To mitigate the risk of data leaks resulting from key compromise, Blakley’s secret sharing technique is employed for key distribution management, and Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is integrated for access control. To address the challenge of handling large data on the chain, data that needs to be uploaded to the blockchain is encoded and fragmented using erasure coding techniques. Additionally, a Byzantine Fault Tolerance mechanism based on Reputation and Polling verification (TRP-PBFT) is introduced to enhance data sharing efficiency and system robustness. Simulation experiments conducted on platforms like Fabric demonstrate that this solution improves data sharing efficiency while ensuring data confidentiality and integrity. In comparison to Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) under similar conditions, TRP-PBFT reduces the average latency from 655.42 ms to 342.22 ms and increases the average throughput from 107.31 TPS to 143.45 TPS. The scheme maintains high throughput and offers relatively stable latency performance.
