HIDEchain: A User-Centric Secure Edge Computing Architecture for Healthcare IoT Devices

Cloud-based IoT architectures are expecting a fast data transfer rate within a limited bandwidth. But achieving a fast data transfer rate is becoming more difficult gradually, with the massive amount of data produced by the IoT devices. The concept of edge computing gives a solution to this problem and provides fast interaction between data centers and IoT devices. With the help of edge computing, the data transfer rate has been increased drastically within a limited bandwidth. As a result, edge computing is being used in different IoT based industry including the IoT based healthcare industry. On the other hand, the distributed nature of the edge computing paradigm introduces security and privacy concerns (e.g., data theft). The IoT based healthcare solutions…
