Mobile healthcare service has become increasingly popular thanks to the significant advances in the wireless body area networks (WBANs). It helps medical professionals to collect patient’s healthcare data remotely and provides remote medical diagnosis. Since the health data are privacy-related, they should provide services with privacy-preserving, which should consider security and privacy at the same time. Recently, some lightweight patient healthcare authentication protocols were proposed for WBANs. However, we observed that they are vulnerable to tracing attacks because the patient uses the same identifier in each session, which could leak privacy-related information on the patient. To defeat the weakness, this paper proposes a privacy-preserving authentication protocol for WBANs in healthcare service. The proposed protocol is only based on one-way hash function and with exclusive-or operation, which are lightweight operations than asymmetric cryptosystem operations. We performed two rigorous formal security proofs based on BAN logic and ProVerif tool. Furthermore, comparison results with the relevant protocols show that the proposed protocol achieves more privacy and security features than the other protocols and has suitable efficiency in computational and communicational concerns.

As the aging population of society continues to intensify, the series of problems brought about by aging is becoming more and more serious. Because the health problem of the elderly brings many social problems, people have paid close attention to it. Fortunately, as a typical smart healthcare system, wireless body area networks (WBANs) present quit nice medical care for people, especially the aged. However, personal health information is very sensitive. But, the common communication channel is used in WBANs and any malicious entity can initiate a security attack on WBANs. To ensure secure communication and privacy-preserving which are the premise of the sound development of WBANs, an improved and efficient certificateless authentication scheme with conditional privacy-preserving is proposed in this paper on the basis of analyzing the most recent presented certificateless authentication scheme for WBANs. The proposed scheme also provides batch authentication to decrease authentication and communication cost. A rigid security proof demonstrates that our proposed scheme resists every type of security attack and can provide condition privacy-preserving. The performance analysis shows that our proposed scheme has some advantages in computation and communication cost.

With cloud computing being integrated with wireless body area networks, the digital ecosystem called cloud-assisted WBAN was proposed. In cloud-assisted medical systems, the integrity of the stored data is important. Recently, based on certificateless public key cryptography, He et al. proposed a certificateless public auditing scheme for cloud-assisted WBANs. But He et al.’s scheme is not a scheme with privacy preserving. After many checks on some of the same data blocks, the auditor can derive these data blocks. In this paper, we propose a certificateless public auditing scheme with privacy preserving for cloud-assisted WBANs. In the proof phase of the proposed scheme, the proof information is protected from being directly exposed to the auditor. So, the curious auditor could not derive the data blocks. We also prove that the proposed scheme is secure in the random oracle model under the assumption that the Diffie-Hellman problem is hard, and we give a comparison of the proposed scheme with He et al.’s scheme in terms of security and computation cost.
