Abstract
The Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) is an emerging intelligent pervasive framework that interconnects smart healthcare devices, stakeholders (e.g., doctors, patients, researchers, healthcare professionals, etc.), and infrastructure using smart sensors. Emergence of novel tools and techniques for data sensing and analysis during the last decade have allowed many researchers to develop and deliver services tailored for the IoHT. This resulted in a considerable number of research outcomes addressing the applications, challenges, and probable solutions targeting secured communication within the IoHT framework. Despite considerable efforts dedicated to it, secured service provisioning still remains as a major challenge. This work provides a detailed account on the current challenges and solutions towards providing secured service provisioning focusing on the IoHT attacks and countermeasures with an aim to facilitate more investigation in this area.
