In response to the evolving landscape of digital technology in healthcare, this study addresses the multifaceted challenges pertaining to identity and data privacy. The core of our key recovery-enabled framework revolves around the establishment of a robust identity verification system, leveraging the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C) standard for verifiable credentials(VC) and a test blockchain network. The approach leverages cryptographic proofs embedded within credentials issued by various entities to securely validate the legitimacy of identities.

Most models adopt traditional dynamic risk assessment, which does not adequately quantify or monetise risks to enable business-appropriate decision-making. In view of this challenge, a new model is proposed in this paper for assignment of monetary losses terms to the consequences nodes, thereby enabling experts to understand better the financial risks of any consequence.

Methods: Retrospective, non comparative study of electronic medical records of MK presenting to a network of four tertiary care cornea services. The medical history, presenting clinical features, microbiology work up and treatment outcomes were analyzed.
Ransomware attacks pose a serious threat to Internet resources due to their far-reaching effects. It's Zero-day variants are even more hazardous, as less is known about them. In this regard, when used for ransomware attack detection, conventional machine learning approaches may become data-dependent, insensitive to error cost, and thus may not tackle zero-day ransomware attacks.
