The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) couples IoT technologies with healthcare services in order to support real-time, remote patient monitoring and treatment. However, the interconnectivity of critical medical devices with other systems in various network layers creates new opportunities for remote adversaries. Since most of the communication protocols have not been specifically designed for the needs of connected medical devices, there is a need to classify the available IoT communication technologies in terms of security. In this paper we classify IoT communication protocols, with respect to their application in IoMT. Then we describe the main characteristics of IoT communication protocols used at the perception, network and application layer of medical devices. We examine the inherent security characteristics and limitations of IoMT-specific communication protocols. Based on realistic attacks we identify available mitigation controls that may be applied to secure IoMT communications, as well as existing research and implementation gaps.

“…The work in [56] capitalizes on a vulnerability to allow the placement of a rogue controller into the network, which allows building a hidden communication channel with any poorly-protected device. A more recent work on the security features of the same protocol [57] employs a real-world Z-Wave network and reverse engineered some critical networks aspects, including frame forwarding and topology management in an effort to identify intrinsic integrity vulnerabilities of the routing protocol. In addition, the authors managed to perform a black hole attack by taking advantage of the discovered vulnerabilities.…”

Protocol stacks specifically designed for the Internet of Things (IoT) have become commonplace. At the same time, security and privacy concerns regarding IoT technologies are also attracting significant attention given the risks that are inherently associated with the respective devices and their numerous applications, ranging from healthcare, smart homes, and cities, to intelligent transportation systems and industrial automation. Considering the still heterogeneous nature of the majority of IoT protocols, a major concern is to find common references for investigating and analyzing their security and privacy threats. To this end, and on top of the current literature, this work provides a comprehensive, vis-à-vis comparison of the security aspects of the thus far most widespread IoT Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) protocols, namely BLE, Z-Wave, ZigBee, Thread, and EnOcean. A succinct but exhaustive review of the relevant literature from 2013 up to now is offered as a side contribution.

Compound Popular Content Caching Strategy in Named Data Networking

et al. 2019

The aim of named data networking (NDN) is to develop an efficient data dissemination approach by implementing a cache module within the network. Caching is one of the most prominent modules of NDN that significantly enhances the Internet architecture. NDN-cache can reduce the expected flood of global data traffic by providing cache storage at intermediate nodes for transmitted contents, making data broadcasting in efficient way. It also reduces the content delivery time by caching popular content close to consumers. In this study, a new content caching mechanism named the compound popular content caching strategy (CPCCS) is proposed for efficient content dissemination and its performance is measured in terms of cache hit ratio, content diversity, and stretch. The CPCCS is extensively and comparatively studied with other NDN-based caching strategies, such as max-gain in-network caching (MAGIC), WAVE popularity-based caching strategy, hop-based probabilistic caching (HPC), LeafPopDown, most popular cache (MPC), cache capacity aware caching (CCAC), and ProbCache through simulations. The results shows that the CPCCS performs better in terms of the cache hit ratio, content diversity ratio, and stretch ratio than all other strategies.
