Using Attribute-Based Access Control for Remote Healthcare Monitoring

Abstract

Remote Healthcare Monitoring (RHM) IoT infrastructure uses sensors and smartphones to collect vital parameters from patients. These parameters pertaining to medical records are shared with healthcare professionals at geographically distant locations to provide timely medical care. RHM applications deployed on IoT infrastructure must address the issues of security and privacy in a constrained environment. We present our H-Plane framework for RHM and propose the use of the NIST Next Generation Access Control (NGAC) framework for specifying and enforcing access control policies.
