The Internet of Things is made of diverse networked things (i.e., smart, intelligent devices) that are consistently interconnected, producing meaningful data across the network without human interaction. Nowadays, the Healthcare system is widely interconnected with IoT environments to facilitate the best possible patient monitoring, efficient diagnosis, and timely operate with existing diseases towards the patients. Concerning the security and privacy of the patient's information. This paper is focused on Secure surveillance mechanism for a medical healthcare system with enabled internet of Things (sensors) by intelligently recorded video summary into the server and keyframes image encryption. This paper is twofold. Firstly, a well-organized keyframe extraction mechanism is called to extract meaningful image frames (detected normal/abnormal activities keyframe) by the visual sensor with an alert sent to the concerned authority in the healthcare system. Secondly, the final decision about the happened activity with extracted keyframes to keep highly secure from any adversary, and we propose an efficient probabilistic and lightweight encryption algorithm. Our proposed mechanism verifies effectiveness through producing results, robustness in nature, minimum execution time, and comparatively secure than other images (keyframes) encryption algorithms. Additionally, this mechanism can reduce storage, bandwidth, required transmission cost, and timely analysis of happened activity from any adversary with protecting the privacy of the patient's information in the IoT enabled healthcare system. © 2013 IEEE.
