Abstract

Healthcare is the major problem that faces the individuals around the world especially oldsters and disables. The
development of the object to object technology (Internet of things (IoT)) is improved until it can be used to overcome the healthcare problem. The progress of the IoT extends to help the science in remote healthcare and predict the disease of the patients before it happened. But with these improvements the patient data become in danger because the patient data are sent from patient side over the internet to the physician so it becomes available for any attackers to attack the data and modified or stolen it in its way to the doctor or to the patient. So the healthcare field is having a security and privacy issue. This paper introduces system that can solve this problem by changing the data before it leaves the patient. So the transfer data is secured enough to protect the patients' data. The proposed system using a three technique one for encoding data to change the shape of data and compressed it and one technique for encrypt encoded data with AES but with rotated key and last one for make an authentication mechanism to protect data from output access and permit any person that have username and password credential to access patient's data. The authentication mechanism is built at the website with a private IP the proposed system is developed with low cost hardware to minimize the cost of the product with high efficiency
