The increasing integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in consumer electronics has revolutionized various sectors, including healthcare. This evolution has led to the development of IoT-enabled consumer health devices and systems, offering benefits such as enhanced remote health monitoring and more efficient health data management. However, these advancements also pose significant security challenges, especially regarding data privacy and secure access. A critical concern is the vulnerability of current cryptographic methods to potential future quantum computing capabilities. This paper focuses on addressing these challenges by exploring the implementation of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in IoT-based consumer health electronics. Specifically, it evaluates the application of PQC methods in conjunction with Transport Layer Security 1.3 (TLS 1.3) for robust authentication in these systems. The study analyzes the performance and security efficacy of these schemes, comparing them to existing cryptographic approaches. Additionally, it delves into the practical hurdles and prospective solutions related to the deployment of post-quantum cryptographic techniques in the context of consumer health electronics, paving the way for more secure and reliable healthcare technology in the era of advanced consumer electronics.
