A Security Architecture for the Internet of Medical Things

This paper presents a security architecture for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), striving to protect sensitive data stored, processed, and transferred in such a system. It is based on a 5-layer architecture for IoMT systems and defines security mechanisms and techniques that can be employed on the different layers in order to protect medical data in its whole lifecycle adequately. Additionally, we also discuss the most common security requirements and attacks from literature which served as the basis for the security architecture. The former can be implemented on various heterogenous IoMT devices and environments.
