Abstract

The expeditious development in cloud-enabled industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) healthcare has significantly reduced the costs to monitor and protect people at home while notably improving the quality of human healthcare. Despite its considerable convenience and benefits, it confronts some security and privacy challenges in the aspects of bilateral fine-grained access control, the authenticity and tamper resistance of shared health data. To tackle these constraints, a secure privacy-preserving bilateral access control scheme with fine granularity (PBAC-FG) is proposed in this article. Our PBAC-FG exploits fine-grained access control and matchmaking encryption technologies to ensure both participants (e.g., patients and healthcare providers) can specify their respective fine-grained access control over the encrypted health data, such that only authorized counterparts can efficiently access the health data. Besides, the correct rigorous security proofs are indicated to verify that our PBAC-FG is indeed secure. We carry out comprehensive performance evaluations and comparisons to demonstrate the efficiency and practicality of the PBAC-FG for IIoT healthcare applications.
