Abstract:
The challenge of ensuring robust security and privacy (S&P) is growing as more devices are connected to the Internet of things. The S&P in the medical industry presents a severe problem that is only going to get worse because to the widespread usage of medical things. The (S&P) of the Internet of medical things (IoMT) is a challenge because of the importance and sensitivity of the data in the healthcare industry. Patients' privacy will be at stake, and their lives could be at risk, if IoMT lacks sufficient S&P. IoMT serves both machines and humans by creating a connection between them. It is expected that billions of IoMT medical things would cover the whole world by 2025.In healthcare systems, as the sensitive and crucial data is unstructured and noisy, it needs extra power to be computed, so that better analysis is done and reliable results are achieved. But, IoMT devices use less power to compute, low memory & battery life and limited resources to achieve more efficient and effective results. The data is collected and processed for making critical decisions which is the main target of cybercriminals. In the current research, this work is proposed to cope with all these challenges including Security threats & attacks on IoMT. In this study, we will discuss the most important security threats, security attacks and security challenges that IoMT operating Systems may encounter through Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks "RPL" and 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over low-power WPAN) protocols and possible solutions related to IoMT security challenges. To improve the security issues of the internet of medical things, this study will be beneficial for the researchers who would be willing to improve existing models as well as for those who want to develop new security models for IoMT.
