“…In this sense, a digital twins approach, where virtual and physical counterparts devise a model for thorough analysis, is one way to improve prediction. Our investigation has also identified how the use of modern approaches, such as cloud and fog computing [117][118][119], in healthcare can help patients receive better care whilst seamlessly protecting their data and equipment. We have argued that these approaches need more timely analysis features, as the abstraction demanded to compute numerical indices sometimes hinders decision-making capabilities due to the sheer complexity of the potential state space posed by MIoT/IoT.…”

Modern medical devices connected to public and private networks require additional layers of communication and management to effectively and securely treat remote patients. Wearable medical devices, for example, can detect position, movement, and vital signs; such data help improve the quality of care for patients, even when they are not close to a medical doctor or caregiver. In healthcare environments, these devices are called Medical Internet-of-Things (MIoT), which have security as a critical requirement. To protect users, traditional risk assessment (RA) methods can be periodically carried out to identify potential security risks. However, such methods are not suitable to manage sophisticated cyber-attacks happening in near real-time. That is the reason why dynamic RA (DRA) approaches are emerging to tackle the inherent risks to patients employing MIoT as wearable devices. This paper presents a systematic literature review of RA in MIoT that analyses the current trends and existing approaches in this field. From our review, we first observe the significant ways to mitigate the impact of unauthorised intrusions and protect end-users from the leakage of personal data and ensure uninterrupted device usage. Second, we identify the important research directions for DRA that must address the challenges posed by dynamic infrastructures and uncertain attack surfaces in order to better protect users and thwart cyber-attacks before they harm personal (e.g., patients’ home) and institutional (e.g., hospital or health clinic) networks.

Civil registration is a fundamental process that captures vital events such as births, deaths, marriages, and divorces, enabling governments to create accurate demographic databases and deliver essential services to their citizens. However, in today's digital age, civil registration systems face numerous security challenges that jeopardize the integrity and confidentiality of vital information. This paper highlights some of the key security challenges encountered in civil registration systems and outlines potential strategies to address them. Firstly, the digitization of civil registration processes has opened new avenues for cyber threats. Malicious actors may attempt to compromise the security of databases, manipulate or steal vital records, or disrupt services through cyberattacks. Robust cybersecurity measures, including encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits, are essential to safeguard sensitive data and ensure the continuity of civil registration operations. Secondly, the issue of identity theft poses a significant challenge to civil registration security. Fraudulent practices, such as the creation of fake identities or the alteration of existing records, can undermine the trustworthiness of the system and lead to the misallocation of resources. The implementation of identity verification mechanisms, such as biometrics or unique identifiers, can enhance the accuracy and integrity of civil registration data while reducing the risk of identity fraud. Thirdly, ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of individuals' personal information is critical in civil registration systems. With the increasing digitization and interconnectedness of data, there is a heightened risk of unauthorized access or data breaches. Strong data protection regulations, robust access controls, and encryption techniques can help mitigate these risks, fostering public trust and confidence in civil registration processes. Moreover, the challenge of inclusivity must be addressed to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of civil registration systems. Marginalized populations, including refugees, migrants, and those residing in remote areas, may face barriers in accessing civil registration services, leaving them vulnerable to identity-related challenges. Deploying mobile registration units, leveraging innovative technologies, and promoting community engagement are strategies that can improve inclusivity and extend the benefits of civil registration to all individuals.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are growing rapidly, making security and privacy crucial. This study analyses and develops an IoT-specific security framework. To address the specific security problems of IoT devices and provide effective techniques and measures to safeguard sensitive data, minimize vulnerabilities, and assure IoT system integrity. The analysis phase identifies and evaluates IoT ecosystem security issues such poor authentication, data encryption, susceptible firmware and software, and lack of standardization. The framework examines these difficulties to understand the security landscape and build effective countermeasures. The analysis informs the development phase, which includes device authentication and access control, data encryption and privacy protection, secure firmware and software upgrades, and standardization and compliance. These steps increase IoT device security by guaranteeing secure communication, data integrity, and protection against unauthorized access and assaults. This Paper Proposed security framework, to assure the security framework's originality and efficacy, it is developed methodically. IoT security literature, best practices, and upcoming technologies are researched extensively. The suggested security architecture is projected to improve IoT device trustworthiness and reliability, promoting their wider usage across domains and generating lightweight cryptography techniques. This analysis-driven and comprehensive methodology addresses security issues to help build secure and resilient IoT ecosystems.
