This has led to digitalrevolution, and in this context, the hardwired technologies in the software industry play a significant role However, from the beginning, software security remainsa serious issue for all levels of stakeholders. Software vulnerabilities lead to intrusions that cause data breaches and result in disclosure of sensitive data, compromising the organizations’ reputation that translates into, financial losses andcompromising software usability as well. Most of the data breaches are financiallymotivated, especially in the healthcare sector. The cyber invaders continuouslypenetrate the E- Health data because of the high cost of the data on the darkweb. Therefore, security assessment of healthcare web-based applicationsdemands immediate intervention mechanisms to weed out the threats of cyberattacks for the sake of software usability. The proposed disclosure is a unique process of three phases that are combined by researchers in order to produce andmanage usability management framework for healthcare information system. Inthis most threatened time of digital era where, Healthcare data industry has bornethe brunt of the highest number of data breach episodes in the last few years. Thekey reason for this is attributed to the sensitivity of healthcare data and the highcosts entailed in trading the data over the dark web. Hence, usability managementof healthcare information systems is the need of hour as to identify the vulnerabilities and provide preventive measures as a shield against the breaches. The proposed unique developed model of usability management workflow is preparedby associating steps like learn;analyze and manage. All these steps gives an allin one package for the healthcare information management industry because thereis no systematic model available which associate identification to implementationsteps with different evaluation steps.展开更多

文摘Rapid technological advancement has enabled modern healthcare systems to provide more sophisticated and real-time services on the Internet of Medical Things(IoMT).The existing cloud-based,centralized IoMT architectures are vulnerable to multiple security and privacy problems.The blockchain-enabled IoMT is an emerging paradigm that can ensure the security and trustworthiness of medical data sharing in the IoMT networks.This article presents a private and easily expandable blockchain-based framework for the IoMT.The proposed framework contains several participants,including private blockchain,hospitalmanagement systems,cloud service providers,doctors,and patients.Data security is ensured by incorporating an attributebased encryption scheme.Furthermore,an IoT-friendly consensus algorithm is deployed to ensure fast block validation and high scalability in the IoMT network.The proposed framework can perform multiple healthcare-related services in a secure and trustworthy manner.The performance of blockchain read/write operations is evaluated in terms of transaction throughput and latency.Experimental outcomes indicate that the proposed scheme achieved an average throughput of 857 TPS and 151 TPS for read and write operations.The average latency is 61 ms and 16 ms for read and write operations,respectively.
文摘In the age of universal computing,human life is becoming smarter owing to the recent developments in the Internet of Medical Things(IoMT),wearable sensors,and telecommunication innovations,which provide more effective and smarter healthcare facilities.IoMT has the potential to shape the future of clinical research in the healthcare sector.Wearable sensors,patients,healthcare providers,and caregivers can connect through an IoMT network using software,information,and communication technology.Ambient assisted living(AAL)allows the incorporation of emerging innovations into the routine life events of patients.Machine learning(ML)teaches machines to learn from human experiences and to use computer algorithms to“learn”information directly instead of relying on a model.As the sample size accessible for learning increases,the performance of the algorithms improves.This paper proposes a novel IoMT-enabled smart healthcare framework for AAL to monitor the physical actions of patients using a convolutional neural network(CNN)algorithm for fast analysis,improved decision-making,and enhanced treatment support.The simulation results showed that the prediction accuracy of the proposed framework is higher than those of previously published approaches.

文摘Thyroid disorders represent a significant global health challenge with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism as two common conditions arising from dysfunction in the thyroid gland.Accurate and timely diagnosis of these disorders is crucial for effective treatment and patient care.This research introduces a comprehensive approach to improve the accuracy of thyroid disorder diagnosis through the integration of ensemble stacking and advanced feature selection techniques.Sequential forward feature selection,sequential backward feature elimination,and bidirectional feature elimination are investigated in this study.In ensemble learning,random forest,adaptive boosting,and bagging classifiers are employed.The effectiveness of these techniques is evaluated using two different datasets obtained from the University of California Irvine-Machine Learning Repository,both of which undergo preprocessing steps,including outlier removal,addressing missing data,data cleansing,and feature reduction.Extensive experimentation demonstrates the remarkable success of proposed ensemble stacking and bidirectional feature elimination achieving 100%and 99.86%accuracy in identifying hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism,respectively.Beyond enhancing detection accuracy,the ensemble stacking model also demonstrated a streamlined computational complexity which is pivotal for practical medical applications.It significantly outperformed existing studies with similar objectives underscoring the viability and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.This research offers an innovative perspective and sets the platform for improved thyroid disorder diagnosis with broader implications for healthcare and patient well-being.

文摘To provide faster access to the treatment of patients,healthcare system can be integrated with Internet of Things to provide prior and timely health services to the patient.There is a huge limitation in the sensing layer as the IoT devices here have low computational power,limited storage and less battery life.So,this huge amount of data needs to be stored on the cloud.The information and the data sensed by these devices is made accessible on the internet from where medical staff,doctors,relatives and family members can access this information.This helps in improving the treatment as well as getting faster medical assistance,tracking of routine activities and health focus of elderly people on frequent basis.However,the data transmission from IoT devices to the cloud faces many security challenges and is vulnerable to different security and privacy threats during the transmission path.The purpose of this research is to design a Certificateless Secured Signature Scheme that will provide a magnificent amount of security during the transmission of data.Certificateless signature,that removes the intricate certificate management and key escrow problem,is one of the practical methods to provide data integrity and identity authentication for the IoT.Experimental result shows that the proposed scheme performs better than the existing certificateless signature schemes in terms of computational cost,encryption and decryption time.This scheme is the best combination of high security and cost efficiency and is further suitable for the resource constrained IoT environment.
文摘Protecting private data in smart homes,a popular Internet-of-Things(IoT)application,remains a significant data security and privacy challenge due to the large-scale development and distributed nature of IoT networks.Recently,smart healthcare has leveraged smart home systems,thereby compounding security concerns in terms of the confidentiality of sensitive and private data and by extension the privacy of the data owner.However,proof-of-authority(PoA)-based blockchain distributed ledger technology(DLT)has emerged as a promising solution for protecting private data from indiscriminate use and thereby preserving the privacy of individuals residing in IoT-enabled smart homes.This review elicits some concerns,issues,and problems that have hindered the adoption of blockchain and IoT(BCoT)in some domains and suggests requisite solutions using the aging-in-place scenario.Implementation issues with BCoT were examined as well as the combined challenges BCoT can pose when utilised for security gains.The study discusses recent findings,opportunities,and barriers,and provides recommendations that could facilitate the continuous growth of blockchain applications in healthcare.Lastly,the study explored the potential of using a PoA-based permission blockchain with an applicable consent-based privacy model for decision-making in the information disclosure process,including the use of publisher-subscriber contracts for fine-grained access control to ensure secure data processing and sharing,as well as ethical trust in personal information disclosure,as a solution direction.The proposed authorisation framework could guarantee data ownership,conditional access management,scalable and tamper-proof data storage,and a more resilient system against threat models such as interception and insider attacks.

文摘Transformation from conventional business management systems tosmart digital systems is a recurrent trend in the current era. This has led to digitalrevolution, and in this context, the hardwired technologies in the software industry play a significant role However, from the beginning, software security remainsa serious issue for all levels of stakeholders. Software vulnerabilities lead to intrusions that cause data breaches and result in disclosure of sensitive data, compromising the organizations’ reputation that translates into, financial losses andcompromising software usability as well. Most of the data breaches are financiallymotivated, especially in the healthcare sector. The cyber invaders continuouslypenetrate the E- Health data because of the high cost of the data on the darkweb. Therefore, security assessment of healthcare web-based applicationsdemands immediate intervention mechanisms to weed out the threats of cyberattacks for the sake of software usability. The proposed disclosure is a unique process of three phases that are combined by researchers in order to produce andmanage usability management framework for healthcare information system. Inthis most threatened time of digital era where, Healthcare data industry has bornethe brunt of the highest number of data breach episodes in the last few years. Thekey reason for this is attributed to the sensitivity of healthcare data and the highcosts entailed in trading the data over the dark web. Hence, usability managementof healthcare information systems is the need of hour as to identify the vulnerabilities and provide preventive measures as a shield against the breaches. The proposed unique developed model of usability management workflow is preparedby associating steps like learn;analyze and manage. All these steps gives an allin one package for the healthcare information management industry because thereis no systematic model available which associate identification to implementationsteps with different evaluation steps.

文摘In recent years,the application of a smart city in the healthcare sector via loT systems has continued to grow exponentially and various advanced network intrusions have emerged since these loT devices are being connected.Previous studies focused on security threat detection and blocking technologies that rely on testbed data obtained from a single medical IoT device or simulation using a well-known dataset,such as the NSL-KDD dataset.However,such approaches do not reect the features that exist in real medical scenarios,leading to failure in potential threat detection.To address this problem,we proposed a novel intrusion classication architecture known as a Multi-class Classication based Intrusion Detection Model(M-IDM),which typically relies on data collected by real devices and the use of convolutional neural networks(i.e.,it exhibits better performance compared with conventional machine learning algorithms,such as naïve Bayes,support vector machine(SVM)).Unlike existing studies,the proposed architecture employs the actual healthcare IoT environment of National Cancer Center in South Korea and actual network data from real medical devices,such as a patient’s monitors(i.e.,electrocardiogram and thermometers).The proposed architecture classies the data into multiple classes:Critical,informal,major,and minor,for intrusion detection.Further,we experimentally evaluated and compared its performance with those of other conventional machine learning algorithms,including naïve Bayes,SVM,and logistic regression,using neural networks.

文摘The conventional hospital environment is transformed into digital transformation that focuses on patient centric remote approach through advanced technologies.Early diagnosis of many diseases will improve the patient life.The cost of health care systems is reduced due to the use of advanced technologies such as Internet of Things(IoT),Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN),Embedded systems,Deep learning approaches and Optimization and aggregation methods.The data generated through these technologies will demand the bandwidth,data rate,latency of the network.In this proposed work,efficient discrete grey wolf optimization(DGWO)based data aggregation scheme using Elliptic curve Elgamal with Message Authentication code(ECEMAC)has been used to aggregate the parameters generated from the wearable sensor devices of the patient.The nodes that are far away from edge node will forward the data to its neighbor cluster head using DGWO.Aggregation scheme will reduce the number of transmissions over the network.The aggregated data are preprocessed at edge node to remove the noise for better diagnosis.Edge node will reduce the overhead of cloud server.The aggregated data are forward to cloud server for central storage and diagnosis.This proposed smart diagnosis will reduce the transmission cost through aggrega-tion scheme which will reduce the energy of the system.Energy cost for proposed system for 300 nodes is 0.34μJ.Various energy cost of existing approaches such as secure privacy preserving data aggregation scheme(SPPDA),concealed data aggregation scheme for multiple application(CDAMA)and secure aggregation scheme(ASAS)are 1.3μJ,0.81μJ and 0.51μJ respectively.The optimization approaches and encryption method will ensure the data privacy.
