One truly meaningful use of modern cellular networks, aside from gaming, sports scores and TV streaming is mobile telehealth.
Sensors are placed near or on individuals with medical conditions and updates communicated via the cellular network to a location that will record, analyze and act upon, if necessary. For example, regular communication of a person’s blood pressure taken every couple of of hours for a week.
The authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of the data path must be guaranteed. This raises the need for secure communications for mobile telehealth devices.
One must question the current security model followed and implemented by the mobile teleheath device manufacturers. Some will take it serious, others will not.
