Why the study?
To guarantee rapidity, stability, and accuracy of ECG signals during dynamic tele-cardiology acquisition and transmission, appropriate data encryption methods must be carefully evaluated.
Does elliptic curves cryptography (ECC) perform better than data encryption standard (DES) for ECG encryption in remote monitoring systems?
Does elliptic curves cryptography (ECC) perform better than data encryption standard (DES) for ECG encryption in remote monitoring systems?
Elliptic curves cryptography (ECC) is recommended over data encryption standard (DES) for remote ECG monitoring systems due to its superior rapidity.
May support ECC over DES for ECG encryption speed; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change remote monitoring practice.
Summary Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring systems are widely used in tele‐cardiology healthcare and applications of Internet of Medical Things. In order to guarantee the rapidity, stability, and accuracy of ECG signals in acquisition and transmission, the data delay, loss, and destruction must be considered in dynamic ECG monitoring system. Hence, data encryption as a key processing technique must carefully be selected in such applications. In this article, we comparatively studied the data encryption standard (DES) and elliptic curves cryptography (ECC) for applications in remote ECG monitoring. The study revealed that although both the encryption methods could effectively protect the integrity of data and ensure the operation of ECG monitoring system, the ECC method perform better than DES especially from the perspective of rapidity. In conclusion, the ECC is recommended as the candidate of encryption method in remote ECG monitoring systems.
