Abstract
Cognitive-inspired Internet of Medical Things (CI-IoMT) combines cognitive science and artificial intelligence to interact with humans and ubiquitous digital environments. The Internet of Things devices generate massive amounts of data and process it with cognitive computing to perform efficient analysis at the edge nodes. Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) uses the said analysis to design smart communication systems to facilitate ubiquitous services. However, the protocols used in IoMT use conventional number theory systems that are vulnerable to quantum-computer attacks. Therefore, an efficient CI-IoMT scheme is required to handle access privacy, preservation, and trust guarantee. This article presents an identity-based seamless privacy preservation (IB-SPP) for CI-IoMT to authorize smart device communications. It is entirely based on fast user authentication to shorten access timing in an emergency situation. The simulation analysis shows that the proposed IB-SPP scheme consumes less response time and minimum data volume than other existing schemes.
