Abstract : Medical Internet of Things (MIoT) offers innovative solutions to a healthier life, making radical changes in people’s lives. Healthcare providers are enabled to continuously and remotely monitor their patients for many medical issues outside hospitals and healthcare providers’ offices. MIoT systems and applications lead to increase availability, accessibility, quality, and cost-effectiveness of healthcare services. On the other hand, MIoT devices generate a large amount of diverse real-time data, which is highly sensitive. Thus, securing medical data is an essential requirement when developing MIoT architectures. However, the MIoT architectures being developed in the literature have many security issues. To address the challenge of data security in MIoT, the integration of fog computing and MIoT is studied as an emerging and appropriate solution. By data security, it means that medical data is stored in fog nodes and transferred to the cloud in a secure manner to prevent any unauthorized access. In this research, we propose a secure fog-cloud based architecture for MIoT supporting ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) to protect medical data. We investigate the feasibility of the proposed architecture and the ability of the system to encounter security threats. Our research results demonstrate the feasibility of adopting the fog-based implementation in protecting medical data while conserving MIoT resources, and the capability to prevent various security attacks.
