Privacy-Preserving Mechanism to Secure IoT-Enabled Smart Healthcare System in the Wireless Body Area Network

ABSTRACT

The IoT has been a subclass of Industry 4.0 standards that is under research from the perspective of quality of service (QoS) & security. Due to the pandemic situations like novel coronavirus smart healthcare monitoring gained growing interest in detection. In IoT data is communicated from Intra WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) to inter-WBAN and then beyond WBAN. While transferring data from one layer to the other end-to-end data privacy is the challenge to focus on. The privacy-preserving of patients' sensitive data is difficult due to their open nature and resource-constrained sensor nodes. The proposed research design based on routing protocols achieves the patient's sensitive data privacy preservation along with minimum computation efforts and energy consumption. The proposed model is Secure Communication-Elliptic Curve Cryptography (SCECC) WBAN-assisted networks in presence of attackers is evaluated using NS2. The proposed privacy preservation algorithm uses efficient cryptographic solutions using hash, digital signature, and the optimization of the network. © 2022 The Korean Society for Vascular Surgery.
