Privacy-Enhancing Encryption in Data Sharing: A Survey on Security, Performance and Functionality

The vigorous development of the Internet has spurred exponential data growth, yet data is predominantly stored in isolated user entities, hampering its full value realization. In large-scale deployment of ``AI+industries'' such as smart medical care, intelligent transportation and smart homes, the gap between data supply and demand continues to widen, and establishing an effective data sharing mechanism is the core of promoting high-quality industrial development. However, data sharing faces significant challenges in security, performance, and functional adaptability. Privacy-enhancing encryption technologies, including Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE), Proxy Re-encryption (PRE), and Searchable Encryption (SE), offer promising solutions with distinct advantages in enhancing security, improving flexibility, and enabling efficient sharing. Statistical analysis of relevant literature from 2020 to 2025 reveals a rising research trend in ABE, PRE and SE, focusing on their data sharing applications. Firstly, this work proposes a data sharing process framework and identifies 20 potential attacks across its stages. Secondly, this work integrates ABE, SE, PRE with 12 enhancement technologies and examines their multi-dimensional impacts on the security, performance, and functional adaptability of data sharing schemes. Lastly, this work outlines key application scenarios, challenges, and future research directions, providing valuable insights for advancing data sharing mechanisms based on privacy-enhancing encryption technologies.

MedExChain: Enabling Secure and Efffcient PHR Sharing Across Heterogeneous Blockchains

With the proliferation of intelligent healthcare systems, patients' Personal Health Records (PHR) generated by the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in real-time play a vital role in disease diagnosis. The integration of emerging blockchain technologies signiffcantly enhanced the data security inside intelligent medical systems. However, data sharing across different systems based on varied blockchain architectures is still constrained by the unsolved performance and security challenges. This paper constructs a cross-chain data sharing scheme, termed MedExChain, which aims to securely share PHR across heterogeneous blockchain systems. The MedExChain scheme ensures that PHR can be shared across chains even under the performance limitations of IoMT devices. Additionally, the scheme incorporates Cryptographic Reverse Firewall (CRF) and a blockchain audit mechanism to defend against both internal and external security threats. The robustness of our scheme is validated through BAN logic, Scyther tool, Chosen Plaintext Attack (CPA) and Algorithm Substitution Attack (ASA) security analysis veriffcation. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that MedExChain signiffcantly minimizes computation and communication overhead, making it suitable for IoMT devices and fostering the efffcient circulation of PHR across diverse blockchain systems.

Cross-chain Sharing of Personal Health Records: Heterogeneous and Interoperable Blockchains

With the widespread adoption of medical informatics, a wealth of valuable personal health records (PHR) has been generated. Concurrently, blockchain technology has enhanced the security of medical institutions. However, these institutions often function as isolated data silos, limiting the potential value of PHRs. As the demand for data sharing between hospitals on different blockchains grows, addressing the challenge of cross-chain data sharing becomes crucial. When sharing PHRs across blockchains, the limited storage and computational capabilities of medical Internet of Things (IoT) devices complicate the storage of large volumes of PHRs and the handling of complex calculations. Additionally, varying blockchain cryptosystems and the risk of internal attacks further complicate the cross-chain sharing of PHRs. This paper proposes a scheme for sharing PHRs across heterogeneous and interoperable blockchains. Medical IoT devices can encrypt and store real-time PHRs in an InterPlanetary File System, requiring only simple operations for data sharing. An enhanced proxy re-encryption(PRE) algorithm addresses the differences in blockchain cryptosystems. Multi-dimensional analysis demonstrates that this scheme offers robust security and excellent performance.
