Software-driven secure framework for mobile healthcare applications in IoMT.

The traditional healthcare systems require more data storage and not a quick responsive mode. The new era of intelligent healthcare systems uses advanced frameworks and devices to work with Internet of things (IoT), Cloud Computing, edge computing devices, and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). These technology adoptions may drastically increase healthcare systems performance and are available anytime and anywhere to replace traditional medical methods – the organizations in the network exchange the patient data that has been gathered. The healthcare systems are therefore susceptible to a variety of threats. The attacker may exploit many attacks during the transmission. This paper introduces a novel mechanism of A Secure Robust Privacy-Preserving Authentication and Key Agreement Framework for Mobile Healthcare Applications. The proposed framework collects the patient’s data using wearable devices called sensors, and the collected data is shared with various entities using a secure mechanism. The proposed framework uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Digital sign is created and validated through the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). Security properties of the proposed framework are analyzed through standard model checking tool Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols (AVISPA). The suggested protocol is simple to develop and can withstand network-related threats.
