Abstract
Health care data requires data secrecy, confidentiality, and distribution through public networks. Blockchain is the latest and most secure framework through which health care data can be transferred on the public network. Blockchain has gained attention in recent year’s due to its decentralized, distributed, and immutable ledger framework. However, Blockchain is also susceptible to many attacks in the permission less network, one such attack is known as Sybil attack, where several malicious nodes are created by the single node and gain multiple undue advantages over the network. In this research work, the Blockchain network is created using the smart contract method which gets hampered due to Sybil attack. Thus, a novel method is proposed to prevent Sybil attack in the network for privacy preservation. Universal Unique Identifier code is used for identification and prevention of the Sybil attack in the self-created networks. Results depict that proposed method correctly identifies the chances of attack and the prevention from the attack. The approach has been evaluated on performance metrics namely, true positive rate and accuracy which were attained as 87.5 % and 91% respectively, in the small network. This demonstrates that the proposed work attains improved results as compared to other latest available methods.
