Abstract
Emerging IoT (Internet of Things) technologies provide many benefits to the improvement of healthcare service. The successful deployment of IoT depends on ensuring security and privacy that need to adapt to their processing capabilities. IoT is vulnerable to attacks since communications are mostly wireless. So far, most researchers have only focused on security or privacy issues related to wireless communication in the IoT environment without considering all the communication vulnerabilities. However, since most of biometric data from sensors travel over the cellular network, we are required to study a privacy-enhanced scheme that covers all the secure communications. Therefore, we propose a novel privacy-enhanced mobile healthcare system in the IoT environment. Our proposed scheme provides anonymous communication between a patient and a doctor in a wireless cellular network satisfying security requirements and guaranteeing its efficiency.
Highlights
The recent surging interest in IoT (Internet of Things) is based on the perception that IoT will become a new trend setter in the postmobile computing era
Mobile healthcare is defined as the practice of medicine and public health supported by mobile devices
The provision of mobile healthcare service has been adopted by many countries, such as the USA, Canada, the UK, Korea, and the EU
Summary
The recent surging interest in IoT (Internet of Things) is based on the perception that IoT will become a new trend setter in the postmobile computing era. In cases where there exists a malicious cellular network operator or an adversarial cloud provider, the security and privacy breach problems become more critical. Both of them can deal with all communications and monitor a special patient’s biometric data in their perspective network. All this information can be inferred for end-to-end communication, if a cellular network operator and a cloud provider collude with each other They might threaten the privacy of all users in the mobile healthcare system. We propose a novel secure and privacy-preserving mobile healthcare scheme using biosensors in wireless cellular network environment (Figure 3).
