Abstract: The wearable e-healthcare systems are a critical IoT mission having wearable sensors, wireless devices and intelligent monitoring of surroundings. The ultimate goal of e-healthcare systems is to identify or diagnose the patients by recognising their various features that are correlated among each other. The involvement of several malicious objects may try to hide the actual recognition of wearable objects for benefiting their own purposes. Though various researchers have proposed various security and efficient schemes, however, it may lead to several computations, management overhead. The aim of this paper is to propose a trusted and efficient e-healthcare communication mechanism while recognising the exact identification of wearable objects. In addition, the proposed mechanism is associated with blockchain mechanism to ensure the transparency and security inside the network while sharing the information. The proposed mechanism is further validated over several security threats against number of security parameters.

Keywords: wearable devices; AHP; security mechanism; analysis process; secure e-healthcare systems.
