Security for medical sensor networks in mobile health systems

Emerging Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and mobile health scenarios provide opportunities for enhancing traditional healthcare systems. Yet current development meets the challenge of sensing patient's health data with strong security guarantees in mobile and resource-constrained settings as well as in emergency situations. This paper presents a generic IoT-aware system architecture that enables security of personal mobile data and their transfer to healthcare services. Our security solutions apply the Host Identity Protocol. We validate the efficiency using a prototype implementation.
