Fifth generation (5G) mobile technology enables a new kind of network that provides high peak data rates, ultra-low latency communication and high user density. Electronic healthcare (e-health) allows the data to be stored and shared in a highly efficient and flexible manner. Group e-health services help in improving long-term results of the treatments due to its collaborative characteristic. The services including real-time remote patient monitoring and transmission of large health data files can be facilitated by e-health systems enabled with the 5G network. Since the communication channel is open, security and privacy in the system should be taken into account. Our work proposes a key distribution scheme for group healthcare services in 5G network environments. We construct various healthcare domains and apply the proposed scheme to the group services. The paper also introduces Single Sign-On (SSO), a cost-efficient solution, for multi-server architecture of the constructed system. Security and privacy of the scheme are enforced by a three-factor authentication mechanism (integrating smart card, password and biometrics) and strong user anonymity property. We provide security proof of the proposed scheme using various well-known tools including RoR model, BAN logic and AVISPA simulation. Results of various performance comparisons indicate that our scheme provides most functions and bears rational costs, compared with its related works.

“…This tool offers an expressive and modular formal language for defining protocols and their security properties by incorporating different back-end automated analysis techniques [ 63 ]. Many researchers have widely adopted this automatic security verification to validate the security of their proposed schemes [ 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 ]. SC-ABSE was designed and coded by a specific programming language called the high-level protocol specification language (HLPSL) via the animator’s security protocol (SPAN) [ 68 ].…”

Blockchain technology provides a tremendous opportunity to transform current personal health record (PHR) systems into a decentralised network infrastructure. However, such technology possesses some drawbacks, such as issues in privacy and storage capacity. Given its transparency and decentralised features, medical data are visible to everyone on the network and are inappropriate for certain medical applications. By contrast, storing vast medical data, such as patient medical history, laboratory tests, X-rays, and MRIs, significantly affect the repository storage of blockchain. This study bridges the gap between PHRs and blockchain technology by offloading the vast medical data into the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) storage and establishing an enforced cryptographic authorisation and access control scheme for outsourced encrypted medical data. The access control scheme is constructed on the basis of the new lightweight cryptographic concept named smart contract-based attribute-based searchable encryption (SC-ABSE). This newly cryptographic primitive is developed by extending ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) and searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) and by leveraging the technology of smart contracts to achieve the following: (1) efficient and secure fine-grained access control of outsourced encrypted data, (2) confidentiality of data by eliminating trusted private key generators, and (3) multikeyword searchable mechanism. Based on decisional bilinear Diffie–Hellman hardness assumptions (DBDH) and discrete logarithm (DL) problems, the rigorous security indistinguishability analysis indicates that SC-ABSE is secure against the chosen-keyword attack (CKA) and keyword secrecy (KS) in the standard model. In addition, user collusion attacks are prevented, and the tamper-proof resistance of data is ensured. Furthermore, security validation is verified by simulating a formal verification scenario using Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA), thereby unveiling that SC-ABSE is resistant to man-in-the-middle (MIM) and replay attacks. The experimental analysis utilised real-world datasets to demonstrate the efficiency and utility of SC-ABSE in terms of computation overhead, storage cost and communication overhead. The proposed scheme is also designed and developed to evaluate throughput and latency transactions using a standard benchmark tool known as Caliper. Lastly, simulation results show that SC-ABSE has high throughput and low latency, with an ultimate increase in network life compared with traditional healthcare systems.

“…Here, also one interesting question emerges: how can 5G improve renewable energy trade market? In addition to the peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading markets that would involve not only energy companies but also prosumers, 5G networks would also help to reduce the costs, coupling 5G networks with renewable energy that would also reduce the telecommunications industry's carbon footprint by eliminating its dependence on fossil fuels (Hsu et al, 2020;Israr et al, 2020). As the energy market is developing a more productive relationship with the IoT, the addition of 5G will improve usability and utility of the IoT by making households and networks smarter and more energy efficient.…”

This paper focuses on the strategies that employ the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks in the optimal management of demand-side response in the future energy systems with the high penetration of renewable energy sources (RES). It also provides a comparison between advantages and challenges of 5G networks in demand-response renewable energy grids. Large-scale renewable energy integration always leads to a mismatch between generation and load demand in the short run due to the intermittency. It is often envisioned that 5G wireless networks that were recently launched and would most likely be fully deployed worldwide by 2035 would bring many technological and economic benefits for a plethora of the future high-renewables grids featuring electric transport and heating as well as prosumers generating renewable energy and trading it back to the grid (for example, in the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) framework) and among themselves using peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Our paper offers a comprehensive analysis of 5G architecture with the perspectives of optimal management of demand-side response in the smart grids of the future. We show that the effective deployment of faster and more reliable wireless networks would allow faster data transfers and processing, including peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trade market, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) market, or faster smart metering, and thence open the path for the full-fledged Internet of Energy (IoE). Moreover, we show that 5G wireless networks might become in the future sustainable energy systems paving the road to even more advanced technologies and the new generations of networks. In addition, we demonstrate that for the effective management of energy demand-side response with a high share of renewables, certain forms of governments funding and incentives might be needed. These are required to strengthen the support of RES and helping to shift to the green economy.
