Abstract EN
After two recent security attacks against implantable medical devices (IMDs) have been reported, the privacy and security risks of IMDs have been widely recognized in the medical device market and research community, since the malfunctioning of IMDs might endanger the patient’s life.
During the last few years, a lot of researches have been carried out to address the security-related issues of IMDs, including privacy, safety, and accessibility issues.
A physician accesses IMD through an external device called a programmer, for diagnosis and treatment.
Hence, cryptographic key management between IMD and programmer is important to enforce a strict access control.
In this paper, a new security architecture for the security of IMDs is proposed, based on a 3-Tier security model, where the programmer interacts with a Hospital Authentication Server, to get permissions to access IMDs.
The proposed security architecture greatly simplifies the key management between IMDs and programmers.
Also proposed is a security mechanism to guarantee the authenticity of the patient data collected from IMD and the nonrepudiation of the physician’s treatment based on it.
The proposed architecture and mechanism are analyzed and compared with several previous works, in terms of security and performance.
