Analysis on Vulnerability of Home Healthcare Medical Devices and Development of Protection Profile Based on Common Criteria Version 3.1

Abstract

Recently, there has been increased interest in home healthcare service due to prosperity of information technology and distribution of developed medical devices. Home healthcare service is a service that enables patients to receive medical service at home, without visiting a hospital. However, since the insecurely processed information can directly affect patients' health and lives, security must be taken into consideration. In this paper, we discuss the vulnerabilities and threats to consolidate security and reliability of home healthcare service, and propose a protection profile for home healthcare medical devices based on Common Criteria.
