Trust Negotiation among IoT-based Objects in Critical Healthcare Environment

Abstract

In pervasive environment, the opportunity of unidentified objects involving in malevolent interactions increases due to the lack of centralized services. Traditional authentication and access control rules cannot be applied due to limitations of foot print of the objects used in Internet of Things. The proposed model presents authentication and authorization for an IoT-based ad-hoc objects using human notion of trust. The paper presents testing the proposed model with relevant use-cases in patient monitoring healthcare devices and presents the analysis results used in the critical care areas.
