A Security Model for Internet of Medical Things

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents an overarching ideology that blurs the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds, encompassing a broad spectrum of computing systems and information technologies. IoT devices, such as wearable devices like smart watches and implantable medical devices, are connected to the Internet. Some IoT devices are even integrated into the human body. Generally, wireless communication technologies facilitate connectivity among intelligent and autonomous objects. However, security concerns within IoT pose significant challenges that impede its widespread adoption and evolution. This paper introduces a lightweight and robust security protocol designed to authenticate objects, ensure data integrity during transmission, and detect intrusions in case of attacks on the system.
