Blockchain-Enabled Cybersecurity Efficient IIOHT Cyber-Physical System for Medical Applications

Cybersecurity issues such as malware, denial of service attacks, and unauthorized access to data for different applications are growing daily. The Industrial Internet of Healthcare Things (IIoHT) has recently been a new healthcare mechanism where many healthcare applications can run on hospital servers for remote medical services. For instance, cloud medical applications offer different services remotely from home. However, the existing IIoHT mechanisms can not handle critical cybersecurity issues and incur many medical care application processing and data security costs. The processing costs associated with security and deadline are the main findings of this proposed work. This work devises a cost-efficient blockchain task scheduling (CBTS) cyber-physical system (CPS) with different heuristics. All tasks are sorted, scheduled, and stored in a secure form in the IIoHT network. The performance evaluation proves that the CBTS framework outperforms the simulation results for the IIoHT application and reduces the cost by 50% of security execution and 33% of cybersecurity data validation blockchain costs compared to existing scheduling and blockchain schemes.
