Abstract

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud computing as well as the introducing of device to deice communication for devices in proximity has resulted in the emerging of new innovative services such as Tele -care in the health sector. However, issues such as privacy and security associated with such a service (Tele-care) are a challenge as most of the associated devices are resource constrained in terms of both operational power and computing capability requirements. As such it becomes problematic to implement any traditional as well as current privacy and security measures. Thus, in this paper, we mitigate on a framework to that will ensure a robust privacy as well as security for a Tele -care service. Notably our focus is in ensuring computational simplicity, privacy preservation as well as energy efficiency. Overall analysis shows that the proposed protocol has improved performance in comparison with existing ones.
