Public auditing for real-time medical sensor data in cloud-assisted HealthIIoT system

The cloud-assisted healthcare industrial internet of things (HealthIIoT) system has many advantages, but there are still some serious security issues within outsourcing medical sensor data to the cloud. One of the most significant challenges is how to ensure the integrity of these data, which is a prerequisite for providing precise medical diagnosis and treatment. Accordingly, cloud auditing has been proposed to ensure the correctness and completeness of outsourced data. So far, cloud auditing has made great achievements. However, in the cloud-assisted HealthIIoT system, there are still some vital problems that have not been properly resolved.

Researchers led by Prof. Hui Tian at Huaqiao University, China, are interested in public auditing for real-time medical sensor data in cloud-assisted HealthIIoT system. Specifically, to address the contradiction between the high real-time requirement of medical sensor data and the limited computing power of HealthIIoT devices, a new online/offline tag generation algorithm is designed to improve preprocessing efficiency; to protect medical data privacy, a secure hash function is employed to blind the data proof. The experimental results show that the presented scheme can greatly improve the efficiency of tag generation, while achieving better auditing performance than previous schemes.

The work entitled “Public auditing for real-time medical sensor data in cloud-assisted HealthIIoT system” was published on Frontiers of Optoelectronics (June 29, 2022).

About Higher Education Press

Founded in May 1954, Higher Education Press Limited Company (HEP), affiliated with the Ministry of Education, is one of the earliest institutions committed to educational publishing after the establishment of P. R. China in 1949. After striving for six decades, HEP has developed into a major comprehensive publisher, with products in various forms and at different levels. Both for import and export, HEP has been striving to fill in the gap of domestic and foreign markets and meet the demand of global customers by collaborating with more than 200 partners throughout the world and selling products and services in 32 languages globally. Now, HEP ranks among China's top publishers in terms of copyright export volume and the world's top 50 largest publishing enterprises in terms of comprehensive strength.

The Frontiers Journals series published by HEP includes 28 English academic journals, covering the largest academic fields in China at present. Among the series, 13 have been indexed by SCI, 6 by EI, 2 by MEDLINE, 1 by A&HCI. HEP's academic monographs have won about 300 different kinds of publishing funds and awards both at home and abroad.
