Title
Anonymous Anti-Sybil Attack Protocol For Mobile Healthcare Networks Analytics
Abstract
Mobile Healthcare Networks (MHN) continuously collect the patients' health data sensed by wearable devices, and analyze the collected data pre-processed by servers combined with medical histories, such that disease diagnosis and treatment are improved, and the heavy burden on the existing health services is released. However, the network is vulnerable to Sybil attacks, which would degrade network performance, disrupt proceedings, manipulate data or cheat others maliciously. What's more, the user is reluctant to leak identity privacy, so the identity privacy preserving makes Sybil defenses more difficult. One of the best choices is mutually authenticating each other with no identity information involved. Thus, we propose a fine-grained authentication scheme based on Attribute-Based Signature (ABS) using lattice assumption, where a signer is authorized by an attribute set instead of single identity string. This ABS scheme uses Fiat-Shamir framework and supports flexible threshold signature predicates. Moreover, to anonymously guarantee integrity and availability of health data in MHN, we design an anonymous anti-Sybil attack protocol based on our ABS scheme, so that Sybil attacks are prevented. As there is no linkability between identities and services, the users' identity privacy is protected. Finally, we have analyzed the security and simulated the running time for our proposed ABS scheme.
