Summary

According to cybercrime magazine, “healthcare suffers 2-3X more cyberattacks than the average amount for other industries”, because the data has more value for hackers. Cyber regulations such as the EU cybersecurity act provide mandatory requirements to protect sensitive information and systems. Beyond traditional clinical systems of electronic health records (EHR), it remains really difficult to extend that line of requirements to connected devices people carry around as part of their treatments. If those medical devices aren’t properly secured, people may unknowingly be broadcasting their health status, as well as many other personal sensitive data, everywhere they go. Or even be directly harmed by hacked devices. Existing protocols available for IoT are unable to meet the complete requirements from regulators. In the current proposal, we provide an opensource pilot implementation on how an equipment vendor should protect the functions and data of their medical IoT devices.

Deliverables

This project is carried out under a period of 6 months (end of 2020/beginning of 2021).

  1. Specification of the medical use case

  2. Demonstrator / MVP

  3. GNAP authorization protocol (IETF standard and research article to be published in LNI)

  4. Remote lifecycle management

  5. Report on how to implement regulatory requirements for IoT medical devices
