Centralized [83] |
Simplicity: Straightforward and easy to implement, especially for smaller-scale smart healthcare CPS.
Control: Allows for easier management and coordination of security measures. |
Single point of failure (SPOF): The centralized entity becomes an SPOF. Scalability issues: Challenges in scaling up for larger and more complex healthcare systems. |
Hybrid [84] |
Combines centralization and decentralization: Offers a balance between control and resilience.
Scalability: More scalable than a purely centralized approach. |
Complexity: Introduces complexity due to integration between centralized and decentralized components. |
Fully Decentralized [85] |
Resilience: More resilient against SPOF. Security: Improved security due to the absence of a central authority. |
Complexity: Complex to implement and manage. Scalability challenges: Challenges, especially in large-scale smart healthcare CPS. |
Fog Computing [86] |
Reduced latency: Reduces latency and improves real-time decision making.
Enhanced privacy: Reduces the need to transmit sensitive information across the network. |
Consistency challenges: Ensuring consistent trust assessments across edge devices may require additional coordination mechanisms. |
Cloud-Based [87] |
Scalability: Allows for scalability by leveraging cloud resources.
Resource management: Can better manage computational resources. |
Dependency on cloud service providers (CSP): Reliance on external CSPs introduces a dependency. Security concerns: Security concerns due to the centralization of data. |
Mesh Network [88] |
Redundancy: Provides redundancy and resilience.
Adaptability: Well-suited for dynamic healthcare environments. |
Complex routing: Challenges in ensuring timely and efficient communication for trust parameter exchange.
Resource consumption: Consumes more energy and resources compared to other models. |
