Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the medical field. It is a cutting-edge technique that connects medical sensors and their applications to healthcare systems, which is essential in smart healthcare. However, Personal Health Records (PHRs) are normally kept in public cloud servers controlled by IoMT service providers, so privacy and security incidents may be frequent. Fortunately, Searchable Encryption (SE), which can be used to execute queries on encrypted data, can address the issue above. Nevertheless, most existing SE schemes cannot solve the vector dominance threshold… More >

Abstract Emerging telemedicine trends, such as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), facilitate regular and efficient interactions between medical devices and computing devices. The importance of IoMT comes from the need to continuously monitor patients’ health conditions in real-time during normal daily activities, which is realized with the help of various wearable devices and sensors. One major health problem is workplace stress, which can lead to cardiovascular disease or psychiatric disorders. Therefore, real-time monitoring of employees’ stress in the workplace is essential. Stress levels and the source of stress could be detected early in the fog… More >

Abstract Introducing IoT devices to healthcare fields has made it possible to remotely monitor patients’ information and provide a proper diagnosis as needed, resulting in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). However, obtaining good security features that ensure the integrity and confidentiality of patient’s information is a significant challenge. However, due to the computational resources being limited, an edge device may struggle to handle heavy detection tasks such as complex machine learning algorithms. Therefore, designing and developing a lightweight detection mechanism is crucial. To address the aforementioned challenges, a new lightweight IDS approach is developed to… More >

Abstract Patient privacy and data protection have been crucial concerns in E-healthcare systems for many years. In modern-day applications, patient data usually holds clinical imagery, records, and other medical details. Lately, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), equipped with cloud computing, has come out to be a beneficial paradigm in the healthcare field. However, the openness of networks and systems leads to security threats and illegal access. Therefore, reliable, fast, and robust security methods need to be developed to ensure the safe exchange of healthcare data generated from various image sensing and other IoMT-driven devices in… More >

Abstract Blockchain technology promotes the development of the Internet of medical things (IoMT) from the centralized form to distributed trust mode as blockchain-based Internet of medical things (BIoMT). Although blockchain improves the cross-institution data sharing ability, there still exist the problems of authentication difficulty and privacy leakage. This paper first describes the architecture of the BIoMT system and designs an anonymous authentication model for medical data sharing. This BIoMT system is divided into four layers: perceptual, network, platform, and application. The model integrates an anonymous authentication scheme to guarantee secure data sharing in the network ledger.… More >
