Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are widely used in telemedicine, which can be utilized for real-time patients monitoring and home health-care. The sensor nodes in WBANs collect the client’s physiological data and transmit it to the medical center. However, the clients’ personal information is sensitive and there are many security threats in the extra-body communication. Therefore, the security and privacy of client’s physiological data need to be ensured. Many authentication protocols for WBANs have been proposed in recent years. However, the existing protocols fail to consider the key update phase. In this paper, we propose an efficient authenticated key agreement scheme for WBANs and add the key update phase to enhance the security of the proposed scheme. In addition, session keys are generated during the registration phase and kept secretly, thus reducing computation cost in the authentication phase. The performance analysis demonstrates that our scheme is more efficient than the currently popular related schemes.

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are increasingly employed in different medical applications, such as remote health monitoring, early detection of medical conditions, and computer-assisted rehabilitation. A WBAN connects a number of sensor nodes implanted in and/or fixed on the human body for monitoring his/her physiological characteristics. Although medical healthcare systems could significantly benefit from the advancement of WBAN technology, collecting and transmitting private physiological data in such an open environment raises serious security and privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a novel key-agreement protocol to secure communications among sensor nodes of WBANs. The proposed protocol is based on measuring and verifying common physiological features at both sender and recipient sensors prior to communicating. Unlike existing protocols, the proposed protocol enables communicating sensors to use their previous session pre-knowledge for secure communication within a specific period of time. This will reduce the time required for establishing the shared key as well as avoid retransmitting extracted features in the medium and hence thwarting eavesdropping attacks while maintaining randomness of the key. Experimental results illustrate the superiority of the proposed key agreement protocol in terms of both feature extraction and key agreement phases with an accuracy of 99.50% and an error rate of 0.005%. The efficacy of the proposed protocol with respect to energy and memory utilization is demonstrated compared with existing key agreement protocols.

Aims: Health monitoring in Wireless Body Area Networks. Background: A medical wireless body area network activated by IoT is mainly concerned with transmitting the quality details to the doctor within a fair period. The explosion of wearable gadgets and recent developments in miniature sensors illustrate the technological viability of any universal tracking program. IoT incorporates a range of tools fitted with sensing, recognition, communication, etc. Objective: To improve the medical facility. Method: The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) Internet of Things (IoT) for healthcare applications is an operational scenario for IoT systems that has attracted interest from large fields of study in the last few years. Internet of Things Based Stable Increased-throughput Multi-hop Protocol for Link Efficiency (IoT-SIMPLE), the IoT ties both topics to the healthcare network effortlessly. IoT enables the sensing, retrieval, and connectivity of all facilities or functional criteria and biomedicine. It puts the surgeons, the patients together And nurses can roam without any restrictions through smart devices, and each entity. Now work is underway to improve the healthcare sector by rising prices and increasing patient care quality. The route determines the route between the nodes and the sink. In this paper, we propose a protocol in WBAN that transmits body sensing data from various sensors, installed on the human body, to sink nodes using a multihop routing technique. Our key goal is to increase WBAN’s total network existence by raising cumulative energy usage. The residual energy parameter governs the usage of energy by the sensor nodes while the distance parameter ensures that the packet is effectively transmitted into the sink Result: Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed protocol very energy efficient and maximizes network stability for longer periods. Conclusion: Throughout this paper, we suggest a method for route data to WBANs. The suggested system uses the expense feature to choose the correct path to fall. The costs of the nodes and their spread from the drain are dependent on residual electricity. Nodes with a lower cost function value are selected as the parent node. Other nodes are parent node children and send their data to parent node. Our simulation tests demonstrate that the suggested routing scheme increases the network reliability period and the packet sent to the sink and in future more numbers of sensors can be used to extend this work to measure throughput, network lifetime, and end-to-end delay.
