New technologies are appearing to provide a more efficient treatment of diseases or human deficiencies. Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) constitute one example, these being devices with more computing, decision making and communication capabilities.
Several research works in the computer security field have identified serious security and privacy risks in IMDs that could compromise the implant and even the health of the patient who carries it.
This thesis works in the main security goals for the next generation of IMDs and analyzes the most relevant protection mechanisms proposed so far, taking into consideration the inherent constraints of these small and implanted devices: energy, storage and computing power. On the other hand, proposed solutions achieve an adequate balance between the safety of the patient and the security level offered, since the battery lifetime is another critical parameter in the design phase.
