Abstract
Nowadays, the Internet of Thing (IoT) is a potentially powerful solution for health applications.
It is a smart technology that provides remote care in real time and requires low latency health data processing and transmission.
The large number of connected objects to Cloud can be a problem for low-latency workloads, which is the case of several health mobile applications.
To this end, Fog Computing, has emerged, where Cloud computing is extended to the edge of the network to reduce latency and network congestion.
It provides a highly virtualized platform that provides health data storage on remote public Cloud servers to which users cannot be fully trusted, especially when we are dealing with sensitive data like health data. In fact, it becomes necessary to rethink a new more robust secure technique.
To provide such technique, we proposed a new secure solution called IoToDChain for e-Health mobile application, based on cryptographic techniques especially Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman-RSA and the Blockchain paradigm.
They exchange of a secret key in confidential and robust manner and protect patients’ privacy in a mobile-Fog-Cloud environment.
The experiments achieved promising results for good data protection against the most known attacks in healthcare systems.
