Abstract: (3901 Views)
Introduction: Internet of things is a hot topic in the modern age of information and communication technology has become pervasive in various industries, particularly in healthcare sector. The security and privacy issue has attracted a lot of attention and has become a controversial issue in this area. The purpose of this study was to identify security mechanisms of Internet of things in health and non-healthcare industries.
Methods: The present study was a systematized review conducted by searching the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and ProQuest databases from 2005 to 2019. After the elimination of duplicate cases, studies related to the purpose of the study were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: We found 71 out of 2340 studies, related to security mechanisms of Internet of things in the healthcare (four studies) and non-healthcare (67 studies) industries, which were then reviewed. Security mechanisms have been organized into 11 major categories, including cryptography, key distribution and management mechanisms, digital identity management, and system life-cycle maintenance management in both the healthcare and non-healthcare industries. The findings showed that six types of security mechanisms, including energy saving, secure design and physical protection of system hardware, intrusion detection and prevention system, trust management, secure routing, and fault detection and tolerance had not been addressed in the health industry.
Conclusion: Given the emergence of this technology in the healthcare industry and its security sensitivity to other industries, the findings of this study provide a broad insight for researchers, managers and information security professionals to encounter threats and attacks and develop a secure Internet of things architecture.
