Logging mechanism for Internet of Things: A Case Study of Patient Monitoring System

Abstract

A logging mechanism for NETPIE in the patient medical device monitoring task is proposed in this work. The logging mechanism aims to collect the communication log between things and NETPIE such that any communication issue or any attack can be detected. There are three main components in the proposed logging mechanism including the raw data, the analysis part, and the final result. The raw data is approximately less than 256 bytes per each communication. The raw data will be analyzed to generate the final result which will contain only the suspicion events including communication issue (i.e., packet lost) and possible attack (i.e., reply attack). The cost of the proposed mechanism includes an extra communication per each communication path and a storage space for the collected data at NETPIE, and things.
