Abstract: Health care visualization through Internet of Things (IoT) over wireless sensor network (WSN) becomes a current research attention due to medical sensor evolution of devices. The digital technology-based communication system is widely used in all application. Internet of medical thing (IoMT) assisted healthcare application ensures the continuous health monitoring of a patient and provides the early awareness of the one who is suffered without human participation. These smart medical devices may consume with limited resources and also the data generated by these devices are large in size. These IoMT based applications suffer from the issues such as security, anonymity, privacy, and interoperability. To overcome these issues, data aggregation methods are the solution that can concatenate the data generated by the sensors and forward it into the base station through fog node with efficient encryption and decryption. This article proposed a well-organized data aggregation and secured transmission approach. The data generated by the sensor are collected and compressed. Aggregator nodes (AN) received the compressed data and concatenate it. The concatenated and encrypted data is forward to fog node using the enhanced Paillier cryptography-based encryption with Message Authentication code (MAC). Fog node extracts the forwarded data from AN using Fog message extractor method (FME) with decryption. The proposed system ensures data integrity, security and also protects from security threats. This proposed model is simulated in Network Simulator 2.35 and the evaluated simulation results proves that the aggregation with MAC code will ensures the security, privacy and also reduces the communication cost. Fog node usages in between Aggregator and base station, will reduce the cloud server/base station computational overhead and storage cost. The proposed ideology is compared with existing data aggregation schemes in terms of computational cost, storage cost, communication cost and energy cost. Cost of communication takes 18.7 ms which is much lesser than existing schemes.

Internet of things [1] consists of exchanging the data where there is a interconnection between objects and humans. High quantity of data is generated from these sources and travelled through the wireless networks in a bidirectional way for remote monitoring. Evolution of these IoT devices and digital technologies, many healthcare domains are providing effective and efficient solutions and diagnosis. Which is also raised many challenging issues related to security and big data processing [2]. Smart devices with intelligent sensors focus on IoT development and play a major role in the fields such as data mining, healthcare, cities, agriculture, buildings, transportation, and industry [3]. IoT used as a medium for remote healthcare monitoring of patients [4] that connect patients and objects that make the life simpler [5]. These smart devices collect various kind of information and transform to cloud repositories for processing [6,7].
Wearable sensor devices of the patients send the data related to patient health to nearby network server. This network ensures the patient data authentication and provides the diagnosis result in case of emergency scenario [8] termed as Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) [9]. In healthcare application, many IoT devices are involved over the network. Hence, security of these data transmission should be considered because medical professionals are monitored these data continuously and provide more relevant and accurate services to the patients. The wearable devices are fitted to the patient’s hand/any parts to calculate the parameter values such as blood pressure, heartbeat, temperature, and blood oxygen, etc., [10]. The collected data are forwarded to collector node such as tabs, smart phones, and personnel digital assistant (PDA) for aggregation [11]. This aggregated data is then forwarded to cloud server for processing.
The limit of processing the data with available bandwidth will leads to emergence of fog computing which provide the distributed storage and services with cloud. The term Fog Server is invented by Cisco [12], for processing local data at the edge of network with fog nodes [13]. The medical data from IoT device are aggregated and stored to cloud for further processing. Due to the huge data and delay, the response times will increase [14]. Hence, Fog node reduces the computation overhead of cloud server and provides the load balance at neighbor fog devices that can handle the data efficiently to provide effective solutions in a timely manner.
The constant connection between the devices over the network leads various security attacks [15]. Fog integrated IoT provides the services as more efficient, secure, and reliable for the users [16]. In IoMT, fog node and collector nodes at the edge will provide best solutions because of system low power, energy, and bandwidth [17]. To rectify issues in IoMT, fog computing and cloud computing are the best combination [18,19]. To protect the sensitive patient data during transmission, IoMT requires efficient secure and privacy mechanisms [20]. In aggregation, compression also performs vital role to reduce the storage. The capacity of the compression is based on compression ratio. This will reduce the resource utilization of sensor nodes while sending aggregated data to cloud server [21]. In this context, security, effective communication cost with less storage is a primary concern about patient health monitoring in IoMT [22]. While transmitting the data from mobile phones, it may not be secure. Neighboring mobile nodes may act as a malicious node to hack the patient sensitive data. It will cause denial of service (DoS) attack that can drop the aggregated message instead of forwarding it.
The ordinary data compression and aggregation methods are increase the storage and communication cost. In this article, we introduce an effective data compression and data aggregation plan for real time healthcare monitoring. Collector node in the model will aggregate the data from sensing devices and utilize Paillier cryptosystem with message authentication code (PC-MAC) based data encryption and data decryption. The fog nodes perform message decryption and perform local computation to reduce the cloud server overhead. The contribution of this work is as follows:
• Patient health data received from sensor node (SN) is compressed to reduce its size and encrypted using PC-MAC. The encrypted message is forwarded to Aggregator Node (AN) for aggregation.
• The proposed data aggregation scheme aggregates the data from SN using the delimiter and the redundancy of the data is avoided with the Boolean value and MAC code.
• Fog node received the data from AN and performs decryption and message extraction using proposed fog message extractor with the delimiter for local storage processing.
• Efficiency of the proposed system is simulated and evaluated by comparing with the existing data aggregation methods. Proposed scheme ensures security with the implementation of PC-MAC, integrity with the use of MAC code, reduced the size with the implementation of compression and fog node reduces the computational overhead of cloud server.
The remaining section of this article is shown Section 2 explains about the literature data aggregation schemes. Section 3 illustrates the proposed data aggregation methodology. Simulation results are explored, and result discussion is done in Sections 4 and 5 concludes the proposed work with merits and future direction.
This part discusses about the research work related to data aggregation methods for IoT and IoMT related to healthcare. Data aggregation method provides the redundant reduced communication with efficient energy and bandwidth utilization. Li et al. [23] proposed a hop method for wireless body area network (WBAN). Data authentication and aggregation are performed at the network and the security is ensure with session key generation. Haseeb et al. [24] proposed communication method for energy efficient consumption. To provide security, one time pad encryption technique is used to detect the attacks. An Anonymous and Secure Aggregation technique in [25] is proposed pseudonyms to protect the node’s identity. To protect the data integrity, homomorphic encryption is used. This method reduces the bandwidth utilization but due to redundant data transmission, computational cost and communication cost are increased. An Anonymous Privacy Preserving scheme with Authentication (APPA) [26] ensures the smart devices identity with asymmetric key encryption and for data calculation, pseudonym certificate employed. This method ensures multilevel security and authentication. But this method is better for limited number of devices. Abdullatif et al. [27] proposed a fog framework for data privacy using clustering techniques.
Liu et al. [28], proposed cipher text-based encryption with cooperative scheme for access control that ensures the integrity of the sensor data. Saha et al. [29] proposed fog assisted healthcare system with pseudo identify to identify the patient’s data individually. EHDA (Efficient health data aggregation) methods [30] provide smart nodes with secure communication. AN use message receiving method for aggregation on compressed data from smart nodes of sensor. FN employs receiving based message algorithm and decrypts the aggregated data for analysis. EPPA (Efficient and privacy preserving aggregation) [31–33] method aggregates the data efficiently using Paillier cryptosystem. To construct multidimensional data cypher text, super increasing sequence method used.
Health data aggregation with priority [34] proposed and offers a data privacy using Paillier and homo-cryptosystem. Zhu et al. [35] proposed privacy preserved aggregation method for Wireless body area network (WBAN) using bilinear pairing cryptosystem for aggregation. Shen et al. [36] proposed an aggregation method for data to protect from malicious nodes. Redundant values are removed at Fog Node (FN) and to preserve bandwidth, data aggregation method employed. Farahani et al. [37] discussed about the big issues related to aggregation via fog node and cloud.
In terms of scalability, privacy, and security, it discusses the case study to point out the essential for healthcare monitoring. discussed about the emerging technologies used for IoT enabled healthcare applications. They also discussed about the security challenges and open issues for future research directions. Azeem et al. [38] proposed efficient fog-oriented data aggregation scheme for IoMT. This model used secure aggregation and secure decryption of message to ensure the security and integrity. Ullah et al. [39] presents a survey about the secure data transmission and data collection for fog-based healthcare architecture. They discussed about fog based efficient and reliable data collection schemes for smart city, smart grid, and smart vehicle. With all these discussions, security and integrity on IoMT is still a challenging issue with low computation and energy consumption.
3 Proposed Paillier Cryptosystem with MAC Methodology
This section proposed an IoT enabled healthcare model which supports the monitoring of patient health at distant location. Overview of this proposed technique is given in Fig. 1. This system illustrate the data forwarding form medical sensor IoT devices to base station/ cloud server. Wearable IoT sensor devices act as a Sensor Nodes (SN) collects the patient data related to healthcare parameters such as oxygen level, body temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure, etc., the SN set is represented as SN1, {SN2,…,SNn-1} where n∈[1,N], N-number of sensor nodes. SN collects the data and compress the values then forward into Aggregation Node (AN). AN transmit the encrypted and aggregated data into Fog node (FN) which is the edge node that provide secure transmission and helps to decrease the Computational problems and energy consumed by cloud server. SN and AN communicate the data through Paillier cryptosystem with MAC code-based encryption technique. AN and FN also communicate the data in secure with the PC-MAC approach. FN compute and format the data in the cloud server required format and forward it into cloud server for analysis.
Figure 1: Proposed fog assisted IoMT enabled data aggregation system model
Proposed secured aggregation and transmission system model is as follows: First, SN collects the patient healthcare parameter values. The gathered data are encrypted using PC-MAC scheme-based encryption. Each SN of the network forward the encrypted data into AN. SN also responsible for compress the data to decrease the value size of the parameter. This will reduce the storage cost. Data aggregation technique is used to aggregate the data and compress it. AN is the mediator of SN and FN which provides the data processing at the network edges. The aggregated data are then forwarded into FN. FN performs the decryption process of PC-MAC and decompression of the health parameters. FN perform local storage and computation as per the need of cloud then forward the data into cloud server repositories. Authenticated medical experts can access the patient health data from cloud server for diagnosis.
In IoMT security is the major challenge that needs to be considered. The proposed secure aggregation and transmission model can overcome this challenge with three phases of processing. (A) Sensor data collection, compression and encryption using PC-MAC (B) Data aggregation and data encryption at AN, (C) Data/message decryption and message retrieval using Fog Message Extractor method and remove the data redundant. A notation listed in this proposed model is listed in Tab. 1 and three phases are discussed as follows:
3.1 Sensor Data Collection and Compression
Smart sensor nodes (SN) gather the health parameters and forward the data into AN. Data compression and PC-MAC- encryption are used for effective data transmission. Initially SN collects the health based parameters (HP) for various sensors and these aggregated data are denoted as SNAgg= {HPi, HPi+1,…,HPn } where i
Sensing devices encrypt the compressed data and transfer to it’s AN using homomorphic encryption method called Paillier cryptosystem [40]. It is the asymmetric algorithm that provides secure and faster encrypting and decryption. MAC is a cryptographic construction that is used to identify the falsification of the messages. It is represented using one way hash function, secret key generated by PC and the message of length m. This MAC will increase the integrity and the receiver needs to recalculate the MAC code with its decryption to ensues the authenticity. Based on PC, key generation, encryption and decryption, MAC code creation is declared in step by step.
PC-MAC encryption at sensor node:
Step 1: Key generation: Randomly choose two prime numbers called p and q which is independent to each other as
Calculate
Ensure t divides g by checking the modular multiplicative inverse defined as in Eq. (2)
where
Public key is (t,g) and private key is (
Step 2: Encryption: given message m where
Step 3: MAC code is represented as in Eq. (4)
Step 4: Decryption: given cipher text c, original message is calculated as in Eq. (5)
The message m1 is given as in Eq. (6) from SN to AN. For message m2, the code is generated as in Eq. (7). Likewise, the messages are compressed and encrypted using this phase and send from SN to AN.
where,
3.2 Data Aggregation Using Aggregation Node Message Aggregation Method (AN-MA)
The messages generated from phase I are aggregated using AN-SMA method. Each SN forwards the data encrypted to AN. Each individual SN can communicate with AN at a time. At AN, each message received is represented as RAN which contains
Initially, the aggregate message variable is set as null. AN check the timestamp of the messages received as in step 3 to check the message freshness. If it is true, then AN can compare the MAC code generated by AN for that message with MAC code by SN. If so, AN concatenate the messages as in step 5. If not, AN drop the message due to integrity violation. If the MAC code doesn’t match, then the messages are discarded due to loss of freshness. Now, AN forward this aggregated message to FN.
3.3 Message Extraction Using Fog Message Extraction (FME) Method
Server of Fog receives the aggregated messages from all AN using FME. FN received the message from AN as in the form
Server in fog received the aggregated cipher text of all the AN and check for newness. If it is true then MAC for FN is calculated and compared with MAC for AN. If both are same then FN decompress the data and split the aggregated data to receive the health parameter values for i is 1 to number of nodes with the delimiter comma (,). HP values are extracted with the decryption method. Redundancy of the system is further improved with the step 8 to check the HP values of recently received with HP values last received. If there is match, then it returns the Boolean value 0. Or else original value is returned.
After checking the integrity violation and freshness, the extracted messages are forwarded to cloud server for storage and analysis. Hence, security of the proposed model is ensured with PC-MAC data encryption. MAC code of the message can be used to check the integrity by comparing the values which also protect the original message from threats. Compression based aggregation will reduce the storage cost. Proposed model security is further enhanced with the second level of security using the comparison between the health parameter received recent and last received. Fog node between AN and cloud will reduce the computational overhead of the cloud storage. Thus, the proposed model is secure and safe transmission over IoMT enabled WSN which resists security threats such as denial of service attack, data fabrication and replay attack.
4 Simulation Results and Discussions
The proposed efficient and secure aggregation model is simulated using NS 2.35 with the simulation parameters listed in Tab. 2. Separate classes are managed for FN, SN and collector node with corresponding configuration of parameters. To achieve the data sending functionality and receiving functionality, separate functions are created using C language.
The proposed scheme results are evaluated with the existing data aggregation methods like ASAS [25], APPA [26], EHDA [30] and SPPDA [41], in terms cost of communication in terms exchanged bytes, energy cost for AN and SN, storage cost in terms of data transmission and computation cost [42–50].
Cost of communication for aggregated data packets of the proposed model is illustrated. Generally, more energy consumed by large data which will increases the cost of communication. Since it is based on energy, the computation is estimated based on Eq. (9).
where,
Figure 2: Communication cost in bytes
Communication cost in terms of energy is illustrated in Fig. 3. Based on the sensors, data transmission power in micro joules is 0.612 µJ and receiving power is 0.051 µJ is considered. The estimated values to transmit 100 messages for the schemes EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS, APPA and proposed model are 22.5142 µJ, 22.6571 µJ, 28.0161 µJ, 23.8123 µJ and 20.1273 µJ sequentially. Proposed scheme obtains 2.03%, 2.15%, 6.73% and 3.14% less communication cost in terms of energy than other existing approaches such as EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS and APPA respectively.
Figure 3: CC in terms of energy
Energy consumption of the proposed method is examined in terms of utilization at AN and energy utilization at SN. The initial energy value is set as 1100 J. Fig. 4 illustrates the energy utilization of AN while data aggregation. At a particular time of 0.5 s 0.000168 µJ, 0.000167 µJ, 0.000181 µJ, 0.000165 µJ and 0.00153 µJ for EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS, APPA and proposed model which proves that proposed model secures less energy than other existing approaches.
Figure 4: Energy utilization at AN
Energy utilization at SN is shown in Fig. 5 with the initial energy of 1100 J. The results shows that SN utilizes 0.00148 µJ at 0.3 s and 0.00178 µJ at 0.9 s. Various other existing approaches EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS and APPA energy utilization at time 0.3 s are 0.00151 µJ, 0.00153 µJ, 0.00172 µJ and 0.00152 µJ respectively. This result proves that proposed scheme utilized less energy than other existing methods.
Figure 5: Energy utilization at SN
The storage space measurement for patient normal health condition is evaluated in this section. Fig. 6 illustrates the storage space required to transmit the normal patient sensitive health parameter values such as temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat. These parameters are represented as integral values and stored in 16 bits to 32 bits. With the compression technique proposed system need less storage to store these messages. Data values are transmitted in100–500 bytes for evaluation. Proposed model reduces the data storage up to 85%. The evaluated results shows that proposed scheme secure 50% of reduced storage than existing approaches such as EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS and APPA. In the situation of SPPDA, ASAS and APPA, data are transmitted without data compression techniques therefore it consumes larger storage. Compared to these approaches, proposed model obtained 80% of reduced storage.
Figure 6: Storage cost comparison
In phase C, the aggregator node aggregates the HP of the patients using comma delimiter and forwards to FN. These messages are extracted by FN and it checks the integrity using the MAC code. Fig. 7 shows that computation cost comparison of stated methods in terms of number of devices. For evaluation considered the number of nodes is 80. Computational cost of proposed model, EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS and APPA is 18.29 ms, 19.04 ms, 20.391 ms, 21.29 ms and 22.18 ms respectively. Proposed model provides 7%, 2%, 3% and 3.8% of better computational cost than, EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS and APPA. Hence, compare to other existing approaches, proposed model secures less computational cost.
Figure 7: Computation cost comparison
Hence in all the kind of evaluations, proposed model secure best performance than other existing approaches. Compared to traditional aggregation approaches, proposed method is high in security aggregation, energy saving and compression. This method is also scalable and less storage utilization than other approaches which will prove that the proposed method is ensures the secure data transmission of health care data over the network.
IoMT ensures the better standard of human life with communication of smart devices, digital technologies, and applications. It is quite challenging task to transmit the sensitive health data of patients through WSN using data aggregation method. Therefore, this article proposed an effective and secure compression and data aggregation scheme using PC-MAC encryption algorithm with AN and fog server message extraction method. This model securely monitored the online patient data exchange by avoiding several security attacks and ensures the efficient exchange of patient data. To ensures the security, proposed model use PC-MAC code for encryption and decryption between SN to AN and AN to FN. From the simulation results using NS2.35 proposed model obtained low communication cost of 7300 bytes while transmitting data in bytes and 20.12 µJ in terms of energy than other existing approaches such as EHDA, SPPDA, ASAS and APPA. In energy consumption at SN and AN, proposed model secures minimum energy with various time slots. In terms of storage cost at various numbers of data transmitted, proposed model secures less storage space in bytes than existing approaches. In terms of computation cost at various number of devices, proposed model obtained less computational overhead than other algorithms. In future, more efficient data aggregation scheme is implemented with the extension of our proposed model for real time monitoring of healthcare data.
