Abstract

The usage of IoT at healthcare domain emerged as Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT). It brings convenience to the patients and physicians by providing services like real-time health monitoring, patient information management, disease and epidemic outbreak tracking, diagnostic and treatment support, digital medicine etc. Wearable IoT devices or tailored bio-sensors enable continuous monitoring of different physiological parameters of the patients. A wearable ubiquitous health care monitoring system is nothing but interconnected body sensors forming body sensor network (BSN). The BSN is collection of tiny-powered and lightweight wireless sensor nodes with very limited computation and storage capabilities. Simultaneously, without secure communication in BSN the privacy of the patient is vulnerable. The objective of the paper to propose a secure framework for IoT based healthcare system which provides confidentiality, integrity and authentication within public IoT-based communication network. We utilize cryptosystem to ensure secure communication and entity authentication between the smart sensors, local processing units (LPU) and gateway. Moreover, to develop the proposed framework, we have designed an IoT-based test-bed that is connected and programmed with a Raspberry Pi series platform.
