Attribute-Based Credentials for Privacy-Aware Smart Health Services in IoT-Based Smart Cities

Smart city–based IoT devices enable collection of vast amounts of data, which can be used to provide more efficient public and private services. Among these, healthcare is especially relevant, and smart health (s-health) models are already being deployed. The authors propose attribute-based credentials (ABCs) to cope with s-health privacy issues and to set the stage for the further adoption in other privacy-aware IoT-based smart cities’ services.
