Abstract

An emerging paradigm for instituting smart city that incorporates information and communication technologies demands an exponential rise in networked infrastructure and advancement of IoT. The physical world has to be monitored in real-time to introduce smart services to the public in the areas of healthcare, entertainment, education, environment, transportation, etc., Conventional healthcare is profoundly transforming into electronic healthcare that anticipates a high degree of security and privacy. Computationally efficient, highly secured algorithms are to be developed to protect electronic health records used in real-time communication for telediagnosis and treatment. This necessitates the proposed scheme named as RIGID (Reversible lIght weiGht hIgh payloaD) for ensuring reversible data mechanism to handle high payload for processing electronic health record in smart city applications by using Pseudo Random Matrices(PRM) and scrambling technique. PRBM has been employed to find the position for permutation and Pseudo Random Number matrix (PRNM) can aid substitution. The proposed RIGID scheme has endorsed a promising result when tested with standard benchmark medical / images and a set of images chosen at random from UCID repository by supporting high payload and reversibility. This scheme is capable of detecting most of the intrusions caused by signal processing and geometric attacks. Experimental investigations disclose the proposed project as an ideal choice for the exchange of EHR in IoT based healthcare system for smart city applications.
