How to Exploit 5G Networks for IoT e-Health Security and Privacy Challenges

Abstract

Cutting-edge IoT revolutionizes the delivery of healthcare information services to meet the global demand. The convergence of smart sensors has prioritized the development of eHealth technologies. In a telecommunication system, it is primarily concerned with the development of core technologies that enable electronic applications associated with 5G networks to achieve the confidential connectivity. Of late, it has increasingly been drawing its research interest for big data, IoT, fog, and cloud computing. However, security and privacy are still challenging to eHealth applications including the Internet of Medical Things, Internet of Health Things, and Mobile Internet of Things. Such guaranteed characteristics converge communication, computing, and caching (3C) to inherit large-scale economic and societal benefits. Thus, this work presents the challenges of secure authentication and key agreement (S-AKA) schemes that envision the security efficiencies of intelligent sensing technologies. S-AKA schemes are hard to break in real-time practice and have become the most useful contribution to modern cryptography. Such authentication schemes allow two or more communication parties to establish a secure session key to ensure data authenticity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation.
