Hybrid security techniques to protect sensitive data in E-healthcare systems

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology referring to interact with everyday objects that are interconnected to each other via wireless sensors attached to them. The advantage of this rapidly growing technology helps to improve the quality of health care services for patients. In e-healthcare system, many wearable devices are used to monitor patients' blood pressure, heart rate, temperature etc. The data collected from the wearable devices are sensitive. Therefore, the need for securing this type of sensitive data is very much important. To overcome this problem, a technique has been proposed. This paper proposes hybrid security techniques in order to secure the health care data. This proposed security technique is based on data obfuscation and encryption technologies to prevent the data from the attackers and unauthorized users. Hence, this approach leverages a secured transmission of health care data.
