Elgamal Cryptosystem

Now-a-days ireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is considered to be new era technique in which patient’s health record are monitored remotely by using wearable sensors from anywhere in the world. In such high-level communication, there is need of security services are required to protect the data being used by healthcare professionals and patients from intruders or attackers. Therefore, many researchers are showing their keen interest for security enhancement of WBAN architecture for secure communication. In this dissertation work, different security and privacy techniques are reviewed and analysed WBAN/IoT challenges as well their limitations based on the latest standards and publications. This research also covers the state-of-art security measures and research in WBAN. This research presents an ElGamal cryptosystem and biometric information authentication scheme for WBAN/IOT applications. This work observed that most of the authentication protocols using hash function and ElGamal cryptosystem for cloud-based applications are affected by security attacks and are unable to hide the actual identities of the end users during login session. Therefore, this work has introduced a secure biometric ElGamal-based authentication as well as data sharing schemes. The result analysis shows that the proposed work is better with respect to existing work with respect to execution time and cost as well as security level.

Background and objective: In the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) sensors are placed on the human body; which has various mobility patterns like seating, walking, standing and running. This mobility typically assisted with hand and leg movements on which most of the sensors are mounted. Previous studies were largely focused on simulations of WBAN mobility without focusing much on hand and leg movements. Thus for realistic studies on performance of the WBAN, it is important to consider hand and leg movements. Thus, an objective of this paper is to investigate an effect of the mobility patterns with hand movements on the throughput of the WBAN. Method: The IEEE 802.15.6 requirements are considered for WBAN design. The WBAN with star topology is used to connect three sensors and a hub. Three types of mobility viz. standing, walking and running with backward and forward hand movements is designed for simulation purpose. The throughput analysis is carried out with the three sets of simulations with standing, walking and running conditions with the speed of 0 m/s, 0.5 m/s and 3 m/s respectively. The data rate was increased from 250 Kb to 10000 Kb with AODV protocol. It is intended to investigate the effect of the hand movements and the mobility conditions on the throughput. Simulation results are analyzed with the aid of descriptive statistics. A comparative analysis between the simulated model and a mathematical model is also introduced to get more insight into the data. Results: Simulation studies showed that as the data rate is increased, throughput is also increased for all mobility conditions however, this increasing trend was discontinuous. In the standing (static) position, the throughput is found to be higher than mobility (dynamic) condition. It is found that, the throughput is better in the running condition than the walking condition. Average values of the throughput in case of the standing condition were more than that of the dynamic conditions. To validate these results, a mathematical model is created. In the mathematical model, a same trend is observed. Conclusion: Overall, it is concluded that the throughput is decreased due to mobility of the WBAN. It is understood that mathematical models have given more insight into the simulation data and confirmed the negative effect of the mobility conditions on throughput. In the future, it is proposed to investigate effect of interference on the designed network and compare the results.
