Abstract [en]
A promising approach to raising the caliber and accessibility of healthcare services is the development of Smart Healthcare Systems. However, the union of wireless networks and smart medical devices has created additional security issues, such as the possibility of identity theft, data breaches, and denial-of-service assaults. These flaws emphasize the significance of creating a safe and dependable smart healthcare system that can safeguard patient data and guarantee the confidentiality of private medical information. This study suggests adopting 5G security standards to address the security issues with smart healthcare systems. The STRIDE threat modeling approach, which includes six threat categories (spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, and elevation of privilege), is used in this study to investigate potential threats in smart healthcare systems. The report suggests using strong encryption protocols, such as AES-CCM and ECDH, between smart healthcare equipment and5G-AKA to reduce these potential threats. The proposed approach showed appreciable advancements in data security and privacy. According to the findings, 5G security standards can be used to efficiently reduce security risks in smart healthcare systems and establish a trustworthy and secure platform for delivering medical services. The study emphasizes the significance of including strong security controls in Smart Healthcare Systems to secure patient information and raise the standard of treatment generally.
