IoT Applications With Cryptography and Blockchain Technology in Healthcare Digital Twin Design

Abstract

In recent years, big data, artificial intelligence techniques, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other evolving digital technologies have been essential in regular healthcare services. The sensitive characteristic of healthcare data presents many crucial issues, such as security, privacy, interoperability, and reliability, that need consideration in healthcare data management systems. With the rapid development of digital techniques, integration methods, and data acquisition mechanisms, digital twin (DT) technology presents a new way to modernize healthcare services and information systems. One of the critical digital technologies, IoT-based information systems, is vulnerable to privacy and security-related issues. This chapter highlights the importance of an information system framework that consists of IoT with blockchain to tackle vulnerability issues using lightweight cryptography techniques.
