Abstract

The mHealth system gradually become widely promoted, the user data privacy issues by the community a strong concern in the complex wireless network environment. In this paper, we propose a data fragment protection scheme, named DFP. The proposed DFP scheme according to the characteristics of the medical environment to system preprocessing, let the wearable equipment or implantation equipment to collect the patient information classified as patient personal privacy data and general medical data, the two types of data on the degree of privacy of different treatment. And according to the data connectivity design reliable transmission scheme. Our framework can not only more reasonable protection of medical data privacy and security, but also to reduce communication consumption and reduce the average time delay. Extensive performance analysis and experimental results proves its effectiveness and reliability.
