Secured Framework for Pervasive Healthcare Monitoring Systems

‘Pervasive Healthcare Monitoring System (PHMS)’ is one of the important pervasive computing applications aimed at providing healthcare services to all the people through mobile communication devices. Pervasive computing devices are resource constrained devices such as battery power, memory, processing power and bandwidth. In pervasive environment data privacy is a key issue. In this application a secured frame work is developed for receiving the patient’s medical data periodically, updates automatically in Patient Record Database and generates a Checkup Reminder. In the present work a light weight asymmetric algorithm proposed by the authors [26] is used for encrypting the data to ensure data confidentiality for its users. Challenge response onetime password mechanism is applied for authentication process
