A Secure and Reliable Fog-Enabled Architecture Using Blockchain With Functional Biased Elliptic Curve Cryptography Algorithm for Healthcare Services
Charu Awasthi, Satya Prakash Awasthi, PhD, Prashant Kumar Mishra, PhD

Fog computing is an emerging technology that extends the capability and efficiency of cloud computing networks by acting as a bridge among the cloud and the device. Fog devices can process an enormous volume of information locally, are transportable, and can be deployed on a variety of systems. Due to its real-time processing and event reactions, it is ideal for healthcare.

With such a wide range of characteristics, new security and privacy concerns arise. Due to the safe transmission, arrival, and access, as well as the availability of medical devices; security creates new issues in the area of healthcare. As an outcome, fog computing necessitates a unique approach to security and privacy metrics, as opposed to standard cloud computing methods.

This article elucidates an effective blockchain depending on secure healthcare services in fog computing. Fog nodes gather the information from the medical sensor devices and the data is validated using smart contracts in the blockchain network. We propose a Functional Biased Elliptic Curve Cryptography Algorithm (FB-ECC) to encrypt the data. The optimization is performed using Galactic Bee Colony Optimization Algorithm (GBCOA) to enhance the procedure of encryption. The performance of the suggested methodology is assessed and contrasted with traditional techniques. The study demonstrates the combination of fog computing with blockchain increases the security of data transmission in healthcare services.

OikosNomos.world (ONW) wants to "DeFi" Hunger & Poverty with a Water Bond to finance water taps in the desert(s) of Africa. ONW aims to demonstrate that if poor & marginalized populations are given the energy and resources to produce safe clean drinking water, they will start lifting themselves out of poverty & hunger.

DLT Water Bond Challenge: DeFi Poverty &  Hunger
Help ONW develop a solution in Namibia to finance a water tap in the desert. Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: No poverty (#1), zero hunger (#2), decent work & economic growth (#8), reduced inequalities (#14).

Challenge
Write an article of two-five pages (max. 2,000 words) that describes a solution to
address the use case outlined in this sponsored article located here. The best three articles will be published in Blockchain in Healthcare Today.
