The internet of medical things (IoMT) has a great role in improving the health around the world. IoMT is having a great impact in our life in which the clinical data of the patient is observed and checked and then can be transferred to the third party for using in the future such as the cloud. IoMT is a huge data system with a continuous developing rate, which implies that we should keep a lot of data secure. We propose a combined security architecture that fuses the standard architecture and new blockchain technology. Blockchain is a temper digital ledger which gives peer-to-peer communication and provides communication between non-trust individuals. Using standard in-depth strategy and blockchain, we are able to develop a method to collect vital signs data from IoMT and connected devices and use blockchain to store and retrieve the collected data in a secure and decentralized fashion within a closed system, suitable for healthcare providers such as private clinics, hospitals, and healthcare organizations were sharing data with each other is required. Right now initially examine the innovation behind Blockchain then propose IoMT-based security architecture utilizing Blockchain to guarantee the security of information transmission between associated nodes. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed scheme presents a non-significant overhead; yet it brings major advantages to meet the standard security and privacy requirements in IoMT.

Semantic Layer

Blockchain is a distributed ledger with the ability of keeping up the uprightness of exchanges by decentralizing the record among participating clients. The key advancement is that it enables its users to exchange resources over the internet without the requirement for a centralised third party. Also, each 'block' is exceptionally associated with the past blocks by means of digital signature which implies that creation a change to a record without exasperating the previous records in the chain is beyond the realm of imagination, in this way rendering the data tamper-proof. A semantic layer based upon a blockchain framework would join the advantages of adaptable administration disclosure and approval by consensus. This chapter examines the engineering supporting the blockchain and portrays in detail how the information distribution is done, the structure of the block itself, the job of the block header, the block identifier, and the idea of the Genesis block.

Security and privacy are essential requirements, and their fulfillment is considered one of the most challenging tasks for healthcare organizations to manage patient data using electronic health records. Electronic health records (clinical notes, images, and documents) become more vulnerable to breaching patients’ privacy when shared with an external organization in the current arena of the internet of medical things (IoMT). Various watermarking techniques were introduced in the medical field to secure patients’ data. Most of the existing techniques focus on an image or document’s imperceptibility without considering the watermark(logo). In this research, a novel technique of watermarking is introduced, which supersedes the shortcomings of existing approaches. It guarantees the imperceptibility of the image/document and takes care of watermark(biometric), which is further passed through a process of recognition for claiming ownership. It extracts suitable frequencies from the transform domain using specialized filters to increase the robustness level. The extracted frequencies are modified by adding the biomedical information while considering the strength factor according to the human visual system. The watermarked frequencies are further decomposed through a singular value decomposition technique to increase payload capacity up to (256 × 256). Experimental results over a variety of medical and official images demonstrate the average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR 54.43), and the normal correlation (N.C.) value is 1. PSNR and N.C. of the watermark were calculated after attacks. The proposed technique is working in real-time for embedding, extraction, and recognition of biometrics over the internet, and its uses can be realized in various platforms of IoMT technologies.

The disclosure of personal and private information is one of the main challenges of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Most IoMT-based services, applications, and platforms follow a common architecture where wearables or other medical devices capture data that are forwarded to the cloud. In this scenario, edge computing brings new opportunities to enhance the operation of IoMT. However, despite the benefits, the inherent characteristics of edge computing require countermeasures to address the security and privacy issues that IoMT gives rise to. The restrictions of IoT devices in terms of battery, memory, hardware resources, or computing capabilities have led to a common agreement for the use of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) with hardware or software implementations. As an example, the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) is widely used by IoT devices to compute digital signatures. On the other hand, it is well known that dual signature has been an effective method to provide consumer privacy in classic e-commerce services. This article joins both approaches. It presents a novel solution to enhanced security and the preservation of data privacy in communications between IoMT devices and the cloud via edge computing devices. While data source anonymity is achieved from the cloud perspective, integrity and origin authentication of the collected data is also provided. In addition, computational requirements and complexity are kept to a minimum.
