Medical IoT: A Comprehensive Survey of Different Encryption and Security Techniques

Recently, there is a revolution in internet of things (IoT) technologies. Research advancements in this field proved to be very useful to automate daily tasks, it quickly reached the medical field resulting in the creation of a new research term called Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Medical IoT devices have many applications that adds accessibility and reach to the medical field. Such applications vary from remote patient monitoring, remote surgery, and many more health-related tasks. Medical IoT applications require precise readings of biometrics and real time haptic feedback to work as intended without putting any risk on the human life. With all of these IoT medical applications, securing the information becomes a priority. Any un-intentional modification in a biometric reading can prove to be fatal in most scenarios. In this paper, we try to survey the current state-of-the-art encryption techniques that provide different solutions with varying levels of security
