ABSTRACT
162Industrial Internet of Things (IIoTs) is the fast growing network of interconnected things that collects and exchange data using embedded sensors planted everywhere. Several IIoT applications such as the ones related to healthcare systems are expected to widely utilize the evolving 5G technology. This 5G-inspired IIoT paradigm in healthcare applications enables the users to interact with various types of sensors via secure wireless medical sensor networks (WMSNs). Users of 5G networks should interact with each other in a seamless secure manner. And thus, security richness is highly coveted for the real time wireless sensor network systems. Asking users to verify themselves before every interaction is a tedious, time-consuming process that disrupts inhabitants’ activities and degrades the overall healthcare system performance. To avoid such problems, we propose a Context-sensitive Seamless Identity Provisioning (CSIP) framework for the IIoT. CSIP proposes a secure mutual authentication approach using Hash and Global Assertion Value to prove that the proposed mechanism can achieve the major security goals of the WMSN in a short time period.
