Abstract: The major intention of this research is to propose a secure authentication protocol for healthcare services in IoT based on a developed Q-Net-based secret key. Nine phases are included in the model. The sensor node, IoT device center, gateway node, and medical professional are the four entities involved in the key generation process. The designed model derived a mathematical model, which utilized hashing function, XOR, Chebyshev polynomial, passwords, encryption algorithm, secret keys, and other security operations for performing effective authentication. Here, the secret key is generated with the Deep Q-Net-based sub-key generation approach. The proposed method achieved the minimum computation time of 169xe9 ns, minimum memory usage is 71.38, and the obtained maximum detection rate is 0.957 for 64 key lengths. The secure authentication using the proposed method is accurate and improves the effectiveness of the system’s security.
