Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a new horizon in communication age. IoT has provided platform to various emerging technologies and applications for growth. E-Health services have also been integrated and greatly benefitted from IoT. Due to the increased use of computer technology, computer networks have faced serious security challenges and IoT is also facing the same security threats. As IoT has provided platform to other fields, like E-Health, these services are also prone to such threats. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on E-Health servers in IoT would endanger real-time monitoring of patients and also overall reliability of the E-Health services. In this paper, existing solutions to DoS/DDoS attacks in IoT have been reviewed and a reliable solution is presented for securing the servers against these attacks.
Highlights
Internet of Things (IoT) integrates various fields of life ranging from Environmental Monitoring, Infrastructure Monitoring, Energy Management, Traffic Management and Healthcare Management
E-Health is critical and most challenging field in which availability of network is of prime importance and if the network becomes www.ijacsa.thesai.org (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol 9, No 1, 2018 under massive attack like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), lifesaving operations of patients may be very difficult
The basic scenario of DDoS attack is presented in the Fig. 3
Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) integrates various fields of life ranging from Environmental Monitoring, Infrastructure Monitoring, Energy Management, Traffic Management and Healthcare Management. Many hospitals are offering E-Healthcare facilities to their patients and their doctors are continuously engaged in monitoring of these patients. These hospitals are in formal agreement with these patients for extending required services. As these hospitals are geographically located at specific locations of a country, their patients reside closer or at moderate distance from these hospitals. E-Health is critical and most challenging field in which availability of network is of prime importance and if the network becomes www.ijacsa.thesai.org (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol 9, No 1, 2018 under massive attack like DDoS, lifesaving operations of patients may be very difficult.
