Abstract

Sensor networks are integrated with cloud in many internet of things (IoT) applications for various benefits. Healthcare monitoring sensor cloud is one of the application that allows storing the patients' health data generated by their wearable sensors at cloud and facilitates the authorized doctors to monitor and advise them remotely. Patients' data at cloud must be secure. Existing security schemes (e.g., key policy attribute-based encryption [KP-ABE] and ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption [CP-ABE]) have higher computational overheads. In this paper, a security mechanism called attribute-based elliptical curve cryptography (ABECC) is proposed that guarantees data integrity, data confidentiality, and fine-grained access control. It also reduces the computational overheads. ABECC is implemented in .NET framework. Use of elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) in ABECC reduces the key length, thereby improving the encryption, decryption, and key generation time. It is observed that ABECC is 1.7 and 1.4 times faster than the existing approaches of KP-ABE and CP-ABE, respectively.
