Securing E-Health Networks by applying Network Slicing and Blockchain Techniques

Network slicing is the 5G research field that addresses the services requirements compliance over the same network. In order to robustly and securely manage the different slices in a network, we propose to use blockchain, a distributed structure that stores data without the need of an external entity to ensure data integrity and reliability. In this paper, we present a proposal on deploying a network slicing solution for Non-Public Networks (NPNs) in health environments using blockchain technology. Our solution aims to provide both performance isolation over wireless networks and privacy.
