Preface
Healthcare has been a critical social and economic issue worldwide, especially in the aging society, with tremendous health expenses and labor resources. Furthermore, the traditional hospital-centric healthcare system lacks efficiency when dealing with chronic diseases or identifying some serious diseases in the early stage. It also suffers from excessive waiting time for patients in hospital. Therefore, developing a continuous and ubiquitous health monitoring system becomes a promising approach to offer pervasive healthcare services. With the widespread use of smartphones and the advance of versatile wearable wireless devices, mobile healthcare network (MHN) becomes a prestigious paradigm of ubiquitous healthcare to continuously monitor people’s health conditions, remotely diagnose phenomena, and share health information in a real-time pattern. However, security and privacy concerns become critical, since MHNs collect personal private health information, and users have various security requirements and privacy levels in different applications. In this monograph, we investigate security and privacy iss
