This paper addresses the critical need for enhanced security measures in healthcare systems that handle sensitive patient data. As wearable devices like Apple Watch increasingly collect vital health metrics, ensuring secure transmission and storage of this information becomes essential. The proposed solutions focus on implementing the HTTPS protocol with TLS for encrypted data transmission, database encryption to protect stored information, and SSL pinning to prevent unauthorized access via Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. These measures aim to safeguard patient data during communication between the iOS application and backend server, while also ensuring the integrity of stored information. By adopting these security enhancements, the system aims to significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, thereby increasing user trust and aligning with modern data protection standards. This paper explores these security challenges and offers a comprehensive approach to fortify the overall protection of sensitive health data in a remote monitoring context.

摘要

This paper addresses the critical need for enhanced security measures in healthcare systems that handle sensitive patient data. As wearable devices like Apple Watch increasingly collect vital health metrics, ensuring secure transmission and storage of this information becomes essential. The proposed solutions focus on implementing the HTTPS protocol with TLS for encrypted data transmission, database encryption to protect stored information, and SSL pinning to prevent unauthorized access via Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. These measures aim to safeguard patient data during communication between the iOS application and backend server, while also ensuring the integrity of stored information. By adopting these security enhancements, the system aims to significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, thereby increasing user trust and aligning with modern data protection standards. This paper explores these security challenges and offers a comprehensive approach to fortify the overall protection of sensitive health data in a remote monitoring context.
