Blended Cryptography for Secured Data Transfer in Medical IoT Devices

To make the best use of the vast potential opportunities that accompanies medical IoT sensor devices, security and privacy measures are expected to be inculcated as fundamental requirement within these systems. Although cryptography proves to be a promising solution for data breach problem, there is always an inconclusive debate between the usages of symmetric encryption schemes which provides reduced computation overhead and asymmetric encryption schemes that delivers better authentication in IoT devices. This research paper focuses on a brief analysis of various existing symmetric and asymmetric lightweight algorithms for IoT. Using simulation tests, we provide important analysis and considerations on practical feasibility of these cryptographic algorithms in IoTs built using sensor networks to help designers predict security performance under a set of constraints, we also propose a new methodology which blends the usage of both symmetric and asymmetric encryption scheme for enhanced data transfer in health care related IoT devices.
