Abstract

At a time when technology is spreading rapidly and widely, technology has become a necessity in daily life and practical life, and this led to the emergence of many cyber-physical systems (CPS), among which the medical cyber-physical systems (MCPS) have emerged, which is one application of CPS that is particularly concerned with patients and health care providers. These systems generate a large amount of data that may be difficult to process and store, in addition to unauthorized access to these systems, which affects their protection. This paper presents a proposed Authenticated Medical Cyber-Physical Blockchain (AMCB) model in Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (MCPS) using Blockchain technology, machine learning, and physically unclonable function (PUF) to enhance the authentication process by controlling the access to electronic health records (EHR) that stored on the cloud server and physical authentication. In addition, it analyzes the data generated from the authorized devices to ensure that the devices do not contain malicious. This paper presents an experiment based on the medical Internet of Things (IoMT) dataset using K-nearest neighbors (k-NN), Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes and Supporting Vector Machine (SVM) for malicious detection to test the proposed model’s accuracy. The Random Forest (RF) classifier gave more accurate results based on the preliminary results with a slight difference from k-NN.
