Security Framework for IoT Based Real-Time Health Applications

Abstract

The amazing fusion of the internet of things (IoT) into traditional health monitoring systems has produced remarkable advances in the field of e-health. Different wireless body area network devices and sensors are providing real-time health monitoring services. As the number of IoT devices is rapidly booming, technological and security challenges are also rising day by day. The data generated from sensor-based devices need confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and end-to-end security for safe communication over the public network. IoT-based health monitoring systems work in a layered manner, comprising a perception layer, a network layer, and an application layer. Each layer has some security, and privacy concerns that need to be addressed accordingly. A lot of research has been conducted to resolve these security issues in different domains of IoT. Several frameworks for the security of IoT-based e-health systems have also been developed. This paper introduces a security framework for real-time health monitoring systems to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity by using two common IoT protocols, namely constrained application protocol (CoAP) and message query telemetry transports (MQTT). This security framework aims to defend sensor data against the security loopholes while it is continuously transmitting over the layers and uses hypertext transfer protocols (HTTPs) for this purpose. As a result, it shields from the breach with a very low ratio of risk. The methodology of this paper focuses on how the security framework of IoT-based real-time health systems is protected under the tiers of CoAP and HTTPs. CoAP works alongside HTTPs and is responsible for providing end-to-end security solutions.

A Versatile and Ubiquitous IoT-Based Smart Metabolic and Immune Monitoring System

“…In reality, the handler ensures not have to be suitable in the workaround; nonetheless, instead, the IoT entry is compatible with the user. In specific, this approach can be used in professional conditions, particularly in communities where children are vulnerable to unsafe situations that could jeopardize their safety [ 30 ]. This involves miners, technicians/chemical workers, and heavy-duty manufacturing and construction workers/technicians.…”

Optimized Embedded Healthcare Industry Model with Lightweight Computing Using Wireless Body Area Network

“…The experimental findings are compared to those obtained using a variety of clustering techniques, including the whale optimization algorithm, innovative chemical reaction optimization, and cuckoo search optimization. In [31], the authors offer a security architecture for real-time health monitoring systems that ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity via the use of two widely used IoT protocols: the constrained application protocol (CoAP) and message inquiry telemetry transports (MQTT). This security architecture is designed to protect sensor data from security flaws while it is being sent continually between layers, and it accomplishes this goal by using hypertext transfer protocols (HTTPs).…”

A Cost-Sensitive Machine Learning Model With Multitask Learning for Intrusion Detection in IoT

“…Our proposed approach can be employed in all the classification-related IoT applications, such as smart fire detection, homes, transportation, and health, with the class imbalance problem. In addition, our framework is suitable for securitycritical applications, where the probability of generating new attacks is high [5].…”
