Study Notes

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)

The IoMT is a network of internet-connected medical devices, hardware infrastructure, and software applications used to connect healthcare information technology.

Types of Medical Sensors

There are two main types of attackers:
- Passive attackers: they do not affect data transmission and can only get a copy of transmitted data, ensuring confidentiality and restricting access to authorized people.

Data Security

Cryptography is the science and art of transforming messages to make them secure and immune to attacks.
Two main processes are used with data security.
Network devices such as firewalls, switches, and routers are used to separate sub-networks, with examples like Firebox devices.
