<p>Internet of Things (IoT) devices have emerged in healthcare with major vulnerabilities such as unauthorized access, identity spoofing, and tampering of data in distributed medical networks. Current security models are not sufficient: they use centralized authentication, are non-quantum resistant, and offer no proactive way of isolating attackers. Information that is provided in this paper is the TAB-DEN - Trust-Aware Blockchain with Deception-Based Edge Nodes - a framework participating in the provision of IoT healthcare systems with scalable, intelligent, and quantum-resistant security. TAB-DEN uses permissioned blockchain ( Proof of Authority consensus ) to perform decentralized and authentication that cannot be tampered with. The hierarchical edge architecture is based on a Primary Edge Server (PES) and Secondary Edge Servers (SES) which apply the trust scores in real-time and redirects the traffic according to trustworthiness. Suspicious requests are sent to Deception-Based Edge Nodes (DBENs) - virtual honeypot-like environments that attract, isolate and profile attackers without interrupting the normal services. Any intrusion events are authenticated by the Trust-Aware Blockchain-based Signature Scheme (TABS) a lattice-based post-quantum cryptographic scheme, which makes attack records immutable and verifiable on the distributed ledger. It is experimentally shown that TAB-DEN outperforms existing schemes in search efficiency, scalability and privacy protection by nearly 40% in encryption and decryption computational overhead, and is in any case superior in search efficiency and scalability. The findings verify TAB-DEN as a secure, lightweight, and future-proof resource-constricted healthcare IoT security framework.</p>
