Internet of Things Security Assessment in Healthcare Environment

Abstract

This paper deals with a new generation of the Internet devices which is named Internet of Things (IoT) concerning the health care environment. IoT allows understanding the interconnected devices among them, including gadgets and sensors… etc.Security assessment and security gaps treatment in the healthcare environment is also tackled through the use of secure routing protocol (SecRout) for the protection of wireless sensor networks (WSN) during different types of attacks and security risks. Symmetric encryption is used in SecRout to confirm the validity of the messages and a small cache in each nodes used to record the route of the partial routing (the previous and subsequent nodes) and it ensures that the destination is able to identify or ignore the frivolous messages. Finally, SecRout protocol performance is compared with the performance of unsecured AODV protocol..
