One of the various examples is internet of things, wireless communication, and cloud computing which can be useful if utilize in many fields. In the field of medical, these advancements allowed any medical centres to improve patient’s health remotely simply by using wearable devices on patients that then will amalgamate with the wireless body area network (WBAN). However, WBAN has limited resources which limits its services. To solve this problem, cloud computing is used to provide storage and computation. Unfortunately, these methods allow the system to be vulnerable to various malicious attacks. Attackers can easily gain access to the medical records of patients hence the integrity of security and privacy of confidential data have been compromised. In this paper, we presented a secure protocol for cloud-assisted database using multi-factor authentication and blockchain as an added measure to ensure security. Accordingly, we prove that the presented scheme offers more security and privacy. Therefore, it is the most practical method to be applied in the medical field. ER -
