Engineers develop new security protocol to protect miniaturized wireless medical implants from cyberthreats

Summary

83% Informative

Rice University engineer Kaiyuan Yang is developing hacker-resistant implants that protect patients from the dark side of medical innovation.

He developed a first -of-its-kind authentication protocol for wireless, battery-free, ultraminiaturized implants that ensures these devices remain protected while still allowing emergency access.

The ME-DTLS protocol exploits a quirk of wireless power transfer, which allows medical implants to be powered externally without a battery.

This could mean a future where medical implants are both secure and accessible when it matters most.

It could offer a way to ensure that only the right people—whether a doctor, caregiver or emergency responder—can control the technology inside their bodies.

For patients, this could be a simple, intuitive way to control their medical implants.
