Today, Implemented Medical Devices (IMDs) are key elements of the healthcare system being more and more complex with connectivity facilities. Participating to data collecting, they contribute to improve patient follow-up as well as medical practices. However, with such a connectivity security threats are significant and can be the cause of decision errors, patient privacy concerns and so on. This is why, international and national regulations make mandatory to consider security when developing new IMDs. In the context of resource constrained connected Knee Prosthesis (KP), we present: 1) a solution to securely process data emitted by KP on untrusted Human Machine Interface (HMI) and implementation times; 2) an authentication protocol for installing trust between the different entities involved in the process.
