A Novel Secure Blockchain Framework for Accessing Electronic Health Records Using Multiple Certificate Authority

Blockchain is a promising technology in the context of digital healthcare systems, but there are issues related to the control of accessing the electronic health records. In this paper, we propose a novel framework based on blockchain and multiple certificate authority that implement smart contracts...
