“…Battery drainage attack occurs when an adversary exploits the resource constraints of a device (ie, mostly a wearable or an implantable one) in order to drain its battery and make it unavailable for the legitimate user 37,38 . For example, the attacker may overrun the IoMT device with a large number of no authorized requests thus preventing it from going to sleep or energy saving mode 20 …”

Internet of medical things (IoMT) is an emerging technology aiming to improve the patient's quality of life by enabling personalized e-health services without limitations on time and location. Nevertheless, IoMT devices (eg, medical sensors) that constitute the key underlying elements of the IoMT edge network are vulnerable to various types of security threats and thus, they pose a significant risk to patient's privacy and safety. Based on that and the fact that the security is a critical factor for the successful integration of IoMT technology into pervasive healthcare systems, there is an urgent need for novel security mechanisms to preserve the security of the IoMT edge network. Toward this direction, the first step is the comprehensive understanding of existing and potential threats to the IoMT edge network environment. Thus, in this article, we provide a categorization of security threats to the edge network environment based on the major security objectives that they target. Moreover, we present a categorization of security

“…The list of challenges for MWBDs is not limited by the above examples. Any influx of new technologies will introduce new security challenges [50], and new countermeasures should be proposed accordingly. Security is never free and may cause an extra overhead (e.g., exceeding a tight power budget, increasing time delays, or causing extra memory usage, etc.)…”

The landscape of miniaturized wireless biomedical devices (MWBDs) is rapidly expanding as proactive mobile healthcare proliferates. MWBDs are diverse and include various injectable, ingestible, implantable, and wearable devices. While the growth of MWBDs increases the flexibility of medical services, the adoption of these technologies brings privacy and security risks for their users. MWBDs can operate with sensitive, private information and affect patients through the use of stimulation and drug delivery. Therefore, these devices require trust and need to be secure. Embedding protective mechanisms into MWBDs is challenging because they are restricted in size, power budget, as well as processing and storage capabilities. Nevertheless, MWBDs need to be at least minimally securable in the face of evolving threats. The main intent of this work is to make the primary stakeholders of MWBDs aware of associated risks and to help the architects and the manufacturers of MWBDs protect their emerging designs in a repeatable and structured manner. Making MWBDs securable begins with performing threat modeling. This paper introduces a domain-specific qualitative-quantitative threat model dedicated to MWBDs. The proposed model is then applied to representative case studies from each category of MWBDs.Index Terms-Security, privacy, threat modeling, risk assessment, biomedical applications, next-generation biomedical devices, smart-and-connected health technologies, miniaturized wireless biomedical devices (MWBDs), injectables, implantables, ingestibles, wearables, the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), the Internet of BioNanoThings (IoBNT), cybersecurity risk, privacy risk, healthcare system.

“…The purpose of this section is to present a set of use cases as part of a foundation for understanding the necessary security requirements for next generation mobile passenger ID devices for land and sea border control. To develop these use cases, we relied on NISTIR 8196 "Security Analysis of First Responder Mobile and Wearable Devices", where several cases from reputable public safety organizations were identified, surveyed, and analyzed [4].…”

Despite the significant economic benefits derived from the continuously increasing number of visitors entering the European Union through land-border crossing points or sea ports, novel solutions, such as next generation mobile devices for passenger identification for land and sea border control, are required to promote the comfort of passengers. However, the highly sensitive information handled by these devices makes them an attractive target for attackers. Therefore, strong user authentication and authorization mechanisms are required. Towards this direction, we provide an overview of user authentication and authorization requirements for this new type of devices based on the NIST Special Publication 500-280v2.1.
