Fog Computing Application for Biometric-Based Secure Access to Healthcare Data

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fog Computing for Healthcare 4.0 Environments

Part of the book series: Signals and Communication Technology ((SCT))

Abstract

Healthcare 4.0 standards propose a personalized and precise medicine for effective therapy based on patient’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle parameters. Healthcare 4.0 standards promote a patient-centric healthcare service delivery at his doorstep. This system enables patient’s healthcare data sharing online among the doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare service providers to leverage the efficiency in healthcare services management. The foolproof authentication mechanism forms a gateway to any security system to ensure integrity, confidentiality, and authorization to prevent any intrusions into the healthcare systems. Today biometric security mechanisms are gaining significance in the Internet of Things (IoT) network security domain. Biometric technology analyzes an individual end-user’s physiological, behavioral, or morphological traits such as the face, fingerprint, iris, retina, voice, and handwritten signatures for authentication purposes. Authors have reviewed the relevant literature on biometric authentication systems and carried out a comparative study of the various biometric techniques, results, and applications. The national and international status of healthcare data protection acts and tools used for biometric authentication was discussed. This chapter deals with a complete design process of multi-mode biometric-based security layer to provide secure authentication to access healthcare data at the edge devices deployed in hospitals and patient’s smart homes. Authors have discussed the prototype design for authentication of end-users of healthcare data and carried out a face recognition experiment for authentication.
