Through the proliferation of billions of devices and the generation of enormous amounts of data, the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we interact with the world, particularly in healthcare applications. Although IoT enables new operational technologies and offers vital benefits, it poses new security challenges, especially for resource-constrained devices. This paper investigates existing lightweight encryption approaches designed for IoT devices in healthcare applications. Additionally, concerns related to the design of Lightweight encryption method for the IoT-based healthcare systems include block size, key length, encryption timing, the number of rounds, and throughput. This analysis aims to provide insights for further investigation and enhancement in the deployment of IoT-based lightweight encryption methods in healthcare applications.
