Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is the emerging technology finding applications in a wide range of fields that include smart homes, intelligent transportation, e-health, supply chain management. Among IoT applications, e-health is one of the most promising application in which smart devices capable of monitoring physiological parameters of patients are implanted in or around their bodies which automatically sense and transmit collected data to medical consultants. However, security issues for electronic patient records (EPR) in-transit hinder the usage of IoT in e-health systems. Among these issues, EPR confidentiality and entity authentication are major concerns. In this article, confidentiality of EPR and its secure transmission over network is focused mainly. A security framework is proposed where-in smart devices encrypt sensed physiological data with Light-Weight Encryption Algorithm and Advanced Encryption Standard cryptographic algorithms. The security framework and the designed protocol provides better security and are energy efficient as presented in the evaluation section.
