摘要

The advent of sixth-generation (6G) networks signifies a transformative phase in cyberspace, offering unprecedented features like ultra-low latency, extensive capacity, higher data rates, and heightened reliability. These advancements, integrated with Tactile Internet (TI), are particularly beneficial for time-sensitive services like E-healthcare monitoring. In this context, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices are seamlessly integrated with 6G-enabled TI and Wireless Medical Sensor Networks (WMSN) to facilitate remote healthcare monitoring. This connectivity becomes especially critical in scenarios like the COVID-19 pandemic, where remote healthcare monitoring using IoMT based wearable devices is essential. However, transmitting sensitive health data over public channels exposes it to risks such as unauthorized access, data loss, or delays, necessitating robust security measures. To address these challenges, a smart-contract based authentication framework, HM-6G+, is proposed for real-time E-healthcare monitoring, utilizing cryptographic hash function and XOR operation for secure yet lightweight interactions. The framework emphasizes privacy preservation and is formally verified for security using the Real-OR-Random (ROR) model, Burrows-Abadi-Nedham (BAN) Logic, and the Scyther tool. Moreover, comparative analysis, considering communication cost and computation complexity, along with energy consumption simulations, underscore the superiority and practical applicability of the proposed framework over existing solutions.
