A Power Efficient Authentication Model for E-Healthcare System Security Concerns in Context to Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

The growing intellectual advancement in the Internet of Things (IoT) has changed the perception of every individual towards the smart way of using internet and cloud for smart objects interaction. The domain of E-health care application is not away from these advancements in IoT. However, the deployment of these application faces some security concerns as severe obstacle. The authentication of the E-healthcare information is much-concerned issues as the confidential data of patients were exchanged among different entities. Thus, a power efficient authentication model which addresses the security issues of E-health application. Using this model, authentication at both the ends of sensors and a base station (S&BS) is verified and achieved secure exchange of health data. This paper considers arbitrary numbers (i.e., nonces) and Hash Key based authentication during cryptographic communication. The outcomes suggest that with this power consumption is reduced and also lay off the session key arrangement among each S&BS. Also, the performance analysis of HKA approach gives that different kinds of security issues are handled properly with low power consumption.
