Funded Activity Summary

Lightweight security solutions for wearable healthcare sensor devices. The aim of this project is to develop new methods to secure the data and context associated with body-wearable health monitoring devices. The novelty of the scheme is in making the methods work on resource-poor devices, by combining new security capabilities derived from the operating environment with conventional cryptographic techniques. This project aims to increase the trust that medical practitioners and insurance providers can place on health data from wearable devices, and showcase Australian innovation in developing world-class security solutions. The outcome of this project is expected to be the development and demonstration of ultra-lightweight algorithms and mechanisms that execute in wearable devices to safeguard the integrity of the data.
