Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has risen significantly in recent years and has provided better quality of life by enabling IoMT-based health monitoring systems. Despite that fact, innovative security mechanisms are required to meet the security concerns of such systems effectively and efficiently. Additionally, the industry and the research community have anticipated that blockchain technology will be a disruptive technology that will be able to be integrated into innovative security solutions for IoMT networks since it has the potential to play a big role in: (a) enabling secure data transmission, (b) ensuring IoMT device security, and (c) enabling tamper-proof data storage. Therefore, the purpose of this research work is to design a novel lightweight blockchain-based security architecture for IoMT-based health monitoring systems leveraging the features of the Hyperledger Fabric (HF) Platform, its utilities. and its lightweight blockchain nature in order to: (i) ensure entity authentication, (ii) ensure data confidentiality, and (iii) enable a more energy-efficient blockchain-based security architecture for IoMT-based health monitoring systems while considering the limited resources of IoMT gateways. While security mechanisms for IoT utilizing HF do exist, to the best of our knowledge there is no specific HF-based architecture for IoMT-based health monitoring systems.
