Internet Of Medical Things

During the recent decade, wireless body area network (WBAN) was developed and prioritized. This gives reliability, energy efficiency, and guaranteed results. Moreover, internet of medical things (IoMT) also enhances the significance of WBAN networks. To achieve high throughput, performance, and efficiency, WBAN deserves a new protocol definition as compared to general wireless sensor network along with a more enhanced framework. The standard 802.15.6 with PHY and MAC layers follow the standardization of WBAN. The wireless nature of the network and various varieties of sensors in the presence of IoMT made it possible to develop new, effective, innovative, and demand-driven solutions for health improvement and quality of service. In the recent literature, the researchers have proposed an IoMT-based secure framework for WBAN. In this chapter, an in-depth and comprehensive depiction of the security issues of IoMT-based framework of the wireless network is highlighted that incorporates security measures in different levels of the WBAN network.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an emerging technology with unrivaled benefits in the fields of e Health and m-Health. The wireless body area networks (WBANs) consist of a major subdomain of M2M communications. The WBANs coupled with the Cloud Computing (CC) paradigm introduce a supreme infrastructure in terms of performance and Quality of Services (QoS) for the development of eHealth applications. In this article, a risk assessment aiming to disclose potential threats and highlight exploitation of health care services, is introduced. The proposed assessment is based upon the implementation of a series of steps. Initially, the health care WBAN-CC infrastructure is scrutinized; then, its threats' taxonomy is identified. Then, a risk assessment is carried out based on an attack-tree consisting of the most hazardous threats against Personally Identifiable Information (PII) disclosure. Thus, the implementation of several countermeasures is realized as a means to mitigate gaps.

Privacy Issues

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a new trend in the technology that provides remote mechanism to monitor and collect patient’s health record data using wearable sensors. It is widely recognized that a high level of system security and privacy play a key role in protecting these data when being used by the healthcare professionals and during storage to ensure that patient’s records are kept safe from intruder’s danger. It is therefore of great interest to discuss security and privacy issues in WBANs. In this paper, we reviewed WBAN communication architecture, security and privacy requirements and security threats and the primary challenges in WBANs to these systems based on the latest standards and publications. This paper also covers the state-of-art security measures and research in WBAN.

In this paper, the authors present a Node Management Entity (NME) and a Hub Management Entity (HME) architectures based on the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) standard. The proposed HME and NME combine cross and modular design architecture to ensure network reliability and enhance the WBAN Quality of Service (QoS). Furthermore, the authors propose an Adaptive Two-hop Routing protocol, termed ATR, a simple but yet efficient algorithm to provide reliable data dissemination in WBANs. The proposed ATR is evaluated under layered architecture and NME and HME entities. Simulation results show that both entities perform well 802.15.6 standard and WBAN QoS requirements than layered architecture.

Modelling Approach

Security issues in information management are increasingly moving towards the centre of corporate interests. This paper presents a multiobjective modelling approach that interactively assists IT managers in their attempts to reduce a given risk by evaluating and selecting portfolios (i.e. bundles) of security measures. The proposed multi-step procedure identifies attractive portfolio candidates and finally establishes the "best" one with respect to the decision-maker's preferences. Our model and its possible application are demonstrated by means of a numerical example based on real-world data that evaluates the risk of hacking faced by a Local Area Network in an academic environment.

The performance of a quality of service (QoS) control scheme in a multi-hop wireless body area network (WBAN) based on the IEEE Std. 802.15.6 is evaluated. In medical Internet of Things systems, WBANs are an important technology. In a previous study, an optimal quality of service control scheme that employs a multiplexing layer for priority scheduling and a decomposable error control coding scheme for WBANs were proposed. However, the two-hop extension supported by IEEE Std.802.15.6 has not been considered. Here, the two-hop extension is applied. Then, the packet error ratio, number of transmissions, and energy efficiency of our previously proposed system are compared to a standard scheme under several conditions. Also, novel evaluations based on communication distance are conducted. Numerical results demonstrate that our proposed scheme, in which coding rates change relative to channel conditions, outperforms standard schemes in many aspects. In addition, those systems show the best performance when the communication distance of the first hop equals that of the second hop. In addition, the above result is theoretically clarified.
