Maha Ali Allouzi, Javed I. Khan · 2019
In this paper, we propose Soter a HIPAA compliance distributed personalized authentication mechanism for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), based on Multiparty Trust Negotiation. Multiparty Trust Negotiation (MTN)is a promising approach for establishing trust between multiparty (Things)demanding to share resources, by gradually exchanging digital credentials based on personalized Access Control Policies. Previous work has been proposed for authentication in IoMT environment, however the proposed approaches are not the best for IoMT as they are centralized and based on Identity Access Control Policies (IBAC)which have limitations make them unsuitable for open distributed environment such as the IoMT, we explain these limitation on the next section. Soter framework presents a number of innovation features, such as the use of Multiparty Trust Negotiation to establish trust between Medical Things, the support of Virtual Federations (VFs)and the Circle of Trust, and the use of personalized and dynamic access control policies (DACP).
