Security of IoMT healthcare data using cryptographic techniques

Abstract

This paperis based on security measures to be provided to IoT related data, as there is an increasing demand to secure the IoT devices, networks and applications. The network resources are getting affected as the cybercrimes are increasing day-by-day. In this paper, first we highlight upon the key challenges and security issues in IoT architecture and then focus upon the case study of IoT application in healthcare IoMT, In Healthcare, prevention and cure have seen various advancement in technological schema. The Medical equipment when used with the Internet of Things are termed as Internet of Medical things (IOMT). IoMT is transforming healthcare industry by providing large scale connectivity for medical devices, patients, physicians, clinical and nursing staff who use them and facilitate real-time monitoring supportingthe knowledge gathered from the connected things. Security constraints for IoMT take confidentiality, integrity and authentication as prime key aspect. These can be achievedbytheintegration of physical devices like sensors for connectivity and communication in cloud-based facility which in course is delivered by interface. Access Control security is obtained through key generation for data owners and the user of private health records whilethedata confidentiality is obtained by use of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)as an efficientencryptionalgorithm
