An efficient key establishment for pervasive healthcare monitoring

Abstract

Health is one of the issues that present more challenges in the world. These challenges not only come from the requirements of the region itself yet in addition result from outside conditions that impact individuals’ health conditions and access to therapeutic administrations. To augment the security strength of real-time healthcare applications in the IoT environment, a novel framework, namely, an Enhanced and IoT-based medical healthcare security scheme (EIMSS), has been proposed in this chapter. The proposed EIMSS adapts the AUP authentication technique proposed in the previous chapter for authentication while transferring the patient’s data. The proposed EIMSS approach offers flexible services to aged people like confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for protecting their vital biological and medical data. The simulation results, analysis and comparison confirm that the proposed EIMSS outperforms existing protocols with improved security strength.
