An increasing number of healthcare applications are making use of wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs). WBSN technology provides a framework that allows for remote physiological monitoring of patients without the use of wired connections in the house. Furthermore, these systems provide real-time data transfer for medical personnel, allowing them to make timely decisions regarding patient care. Despite this, worries remain about patient data being compromised. This research presents a strategy for protecting patient-provider communications by making use of WBSNs. To solve the problem of how to securely store sensitive information on blockchains, a hybrid cryptographic architecture is proposed. The strengths of both public key and symmetric key cryptography are leveraged in my approach. In order to achieve this goal, I have developed a new algorithm by fusing the AES, RSA, and Blowfish algorithms. My experiments have shown that the proposed solution can keep private data safe without affecting its scalability. Using Logi-XGB as a prediction model for attacks, the proposed approach can successfully thwart 99.7 percent of them.
