Checking and Enforcing Security through Opacity in Healthcare Applications
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm that can tremendously
revolutionize health care thus benefiting both hospitals, doctors and patients.
In this context, protecting the IoT in health care against interference,
including service attacks and malwares, is challenging. Opacity is a
confidentiality property capturing a system's ability to keep a subset of its
behavior hidden from passive observers. In this work, we seek to introduce an
IoT-based heart attack detection system, that could be life-saving for patients
without risking their need for privacy through the verification and enforcement
of opacity. Our main contributions are the use of a tool to verify opacity in
three of its forms, so as to detect privacy leaks in our system. Furthermore,
we develop an efficient, Symbolic Observation Graph (SOG)-based algorithm for
enforcing opacity
