LSITA: An Integrated Framework for Leveraging Security of Internet of Things Application with Remote Patient Monitoring System

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) applications are growing in popularity and utility leading towards more comforts and conveniences with diversified use cases. However, there are security concerns as IoT technology is made up of heterogeneous devices, protocols and standards. Therefore, the environment might have inherent security issues due to lack of an integrated security framework. Security of internet of things applications is thus crucial for the growth of such applications in the real world. Towards this end, we have proposed a series of security schemes in our prior work. In this paper, we proposed an integrated framework for Leveraging Security of Internet of Things Application (LSITA) with Remote Patient Monitoring System (RPMS) use case. The framework is named as Integrated IoT Security Framework which is realized with different schemes to have privacy and end to end security. The framework enables cloud assisted authentication, secure communications among parties involved in IoT application and an improved key sharing model for multi-user data analytics environment. Different security schemes work together with seamless integration. Remote Patient Monitoring System is the case study built to evaluate the proposed framework. Empirical results revealed that the proposed framework has holistic approach to security of IoT applications. It has potential to trigger further research in the area of IoT security.
