Sensors, Vol. 18, Pages 4327: Experimental Phantom-Based Security Analysis for Next-Generation Leadless Cardiac Pacemakers

Authors: Muhammad Faheem Awan Sofia Perez-Simbor Concepcion Garcia-Pardo Kimmo Kansanen Narcis Cardona With technological advancement, implanted medical devices can treat a wide range of chronic diseases such as cardiac arrhythmia, deafness, diabetes, etc. Cardiac pacemakers are used to maintain normal heart rhythms. The next generation of these pacemakers is expected to be completely wireless, providing new security threats. Thus, it is critical to secure pacemaker transmissions between legitimate nodes from a third party or an eavesdropper. This work estimates the eavesdropping risk and explores the potential of securing transmissions between leadless capsules inside the heart and the subcutaneous implant under the skin against external eavesdroppers by using physical-layer...
