As data of COVID-19 patients is increasing, the new framework is required to secure the data collected from various Internet of Things (IoT) devices and predict the trend of disease to reduce its spreading. This article proposes security and privacy-based lightweight framework called iFaaSBus, which uses the concept of IoT, Machine Learning (ML), and Function as a Service (FaaS) or serverless computing to diagnose the COVID-19 disease and manages resources automatically to enable dynamic scalability. iFaaSBus offers OAuth-2.0 Authorization protocol-based privacy and JSON Web Token & Transport Layer Socket (TLS) protocol-based security to secure the patient's health data. iFaaSBus outperforms response time compared to non-serverless computing while responding to up to 1100 concurrent requests. Further, the performance of various ML models is evaluated based on accuracy, precision, recall, F-score, and Area Under the Curve (AUC) values and the K-Nearest Neighbour model gives the highest accuracy rate of 97.51%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
