Abstract

As healthcare systems evolve and healthcare data grows, the need for cross-domain collaboration treatment has become more complex, necessitating fine-grained access control to enhance privacy and security. Blockchain provides a distributed trusted platform without third parties, but the current blockchain-based access control systems lack efficiency and sufficient privacy protection in cross-domain collaboration. To address these challenges, we propose SWIFTGUARD, an efficient and fine-grained access control system based on a master-slave chain to strengthen the security and privacy of cross-domain healthcare collaboration. SWIFTGUARD incorporates a zero-knowledge proof protocol for cross-domain authentication with-out exposing sensitive data and leverages quantitative attribute weights for efficient access control. Through game-based security proof, we demonstrate the zero knowledge and soundness of the system. Extensive experiments evaluate that SWIFTGUARD reduces the time complexity of access authorization from O(n) to O(logn), with improved throughput and stable performance in cross-domain collaboration. Our comprehensive evaluation confirms that SWIFTGUARD provides a secure and efficient access control system for cross-domain healthcare collaboration.
