Securing the Communications in a WoT/WebRTC-based Smart Healthcare Architecture

摘要

In this paper, an e-health framework specially conceived for remote examination of patients and injured persons in case of accidents is presented. This architecture is based on coupling the real-time communication capabilities of WebRTC and the advantages brought by the Web of Things (WoT). We focus on the security aspects, especially for the security of the medical data exchanged between the different entities in order to prevent eavesdropping and tampering those personal data of the patients, by introducing a security layer based on a CoAP-DTLS implementation in Node.js. Our approach has the advantage of enhancing the capability of this architecture while remaining compliant with the vision of the WoT.
