Context-Aware Data Association and Authenticity in Pervasive Healthcare

This paper briefly explains the data association and security issues in pervasive health-care and proposes a context aware security approach to overcome these issues. Our algorithm gathers vital physiological, environmental and personal data to generate user context and uses that information to authenticate a specific patient.
