Securing Healthcare 5.0: Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) and Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Solutions for Medical Data Security

In the field of Healthcare, security of the medical data has become crucial, especially in the context of Healthcare 5.0. As Healthcare evolves from 1.0 to 5.0, it applies a variety of solutions to address emerging challenges. In this paper, we present a novel approach leveraging zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) and post quantum cryptography (PQC) within Healthcare 5.0. ZKP and PQC offer enhanced security features such as authentication of proofs and safeguarding medical information. Furthermore, we explore the evolution from Healthcare 1.0 to Healthcare 5.0 emphasizing the pivotal role of emerging technologies into this transformation. Additionally, our work provides a comprehensive overview of ZKP and PQC, explaining their significance in improving the authentication and encrypted security within Healthcare systems. Moreover, we highlight recent advancements related to the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) security, incorporating concepts like ZKP and PQC, alongside technologies such as blockchain. Our work aims to provide the vulnerabilities and solutions inherent in Healthcare data systems, ensuring utmost confidentiality and integrity.
