National Cyber Safety and Security: Healthcare using IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) integration with different domains provides strategic benefits to organizations and people at large. However, when it comes to security, it is linked with national cyber safety and security in one way or other. The rationale behind this is that IoT combines physical and digital worlds and the whole digital infrastructure may be linked with IoT. Thus, it is important to leverage IoT integrations to have cyber safety and security. In this paper we considered healthcare unit as case study for IoT integration and security verification. We proposed a methodology with underlying mechanisms for searching and data sharing with end to end security. We built a prototype application realized with Things Board IoT platform and Jelastic cloud platform integrated with healthcare infrastructure. Our empirical results revealed that the proposed methodology is able to provide secure data sharing and searching in such distributed environment.
