Abstract
Biosensor is a means to transmit some physical phenomena, like body temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), and blood pressure. Such transmission is performed via Wireless Medical Sensor Network (WMSN) while diagnosing patients remotely through Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT). The sensitive data transmitted through WMSN from IoMT over an insecure channel is vulnerable to several threats and needs proper attention to be secured from adversaries. In contrast to addressing the security of all associated entities involving patient monitoring in the healthcare system or ensuring the integrity, authorization, and nonrepudiation of information over the communication line, no one can guarantee its security without a robust authentication protocol. Therefore, we have proposed a lightweight and robust authentication scheme for the network-enabled healthcare devices (IoMT) that mitigate all the identified weaknesses posed in the recent literature. The proposed protocol's security has been analyzed formally using BAN logic and ProVerif2.02 and informally using pragmatic illustration. Simultaneously, at the end of the paper, the performance analysis result shows a delicate balance of security with performance that is often missing in the current protocols.
Highlights
A healthy human body is a prerequisite to happiness, mental ease, and calm existence
Not accommodate changes to the biometric overtime, sample collection phase is influenced by environmental and mental conditions is paper presents a Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) based device authentication protocol No information about the end device capable of authenticating devices is directly stored on the server, without demanding high CPU power requiring an extra layer of security from the end devices
Amin et al [5] proposed a scheme for IoMT using Wireless Medical Sensor Network (WMSN) in the healthcare domain. eir protocol consists of four phases, i.e., setup phase, registration phase, login and authentication phase, and password change phase
Summary
A healthy human body is a prerequisite to happiness, mental ease, and calm existence. E wireless technology for the healthcare industry and installed applications in network-enabled devices can communicate seamlessly to the proper device via WMSN, which has limited battery capacity and low latency It offers back-end services, quick and intelligent network features for IoMT in healthcare services delivery, while the embedded sensors in the human body can collect and communicate physical conditions to the gateway node using the said limited featured wireless network, for example, (i) visual sensor for sight checkup, (ii) pressure sensor on examining the breath duration of a patient or stress of central nervous system (CNS) or the lower part of the mouth, (iii) temperature sensor for finding the normal body heat, (iv) oxygen saturation sensor for oxygenated blood monitoring, (v) EEG/ECG/MRI sensor is for heart and other parts checkup, (vi) ventilator sensor to provide oxygen continuously to a patient, and (vii) imaging, treatment, diagnosing, and data analytics, etc.
