Light-weight implementation of SSL for secure remote healthcare system

초록

Remote healthcare system is now tracking and monitoring patients and providing necessary medical treatment to them in timely manner. From the view point of data security, remote healthcare system should satisfy three requirements: confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. It is known that the pervasive nature of remote healthcare system makes it much easier target for malicious attackers. Various researches have been performed to strengthen the security of data on transmission or in storage. Previous techniques, however, in most cases are simple re-applying of existing security techniques such as PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), which is too heavy for the embedded small medical devices attached to the patient. We suggest to simplify SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol to reduce its computing power requirement and use this lighter SSL as the basis of the security system for remote healthcare system. © International Research Publication House.
