A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a network of wirelessly connected sensing and actuating devices. WBANs used for recording biometric information and administering medication are classified as part of a Cyber Physical System (CPS). Preserving user security and privacy is a fundamental concern of WBANs, which introduces the notion of using biometric readings as a mechanism for authentication. Extensive research has been conducted regarding the various methodologies (e.g. ECG, EEG, gait, head/arm motion, skin impedance). This paper seeks to analyze and evaluate the most prominent biometric authentication techniques based on accuracy, cost, and feasibility of implementation. We suggest several authentication schemes which incorporate multiple biometric properties.

The recent advancements in technologies have allowed us to come so far and resulted in many breakthroughs. One of the various examples is internet of things, wireless communication, and cloud computing which can be useful if utilize in many fields. In the field of medical, these advancements allowed any medical centres to improve patient’s health remotely simply by using wearable devices on patients that then will amalgamate with the wireless body area network (WBAN). However, WBAN has limited resources which limits its services. To solve this problem, cloud computing is used to provide storage and computation. Unfortunately, these methods allow the system to be vulnerable to various malicious attacks. Attackers can easily gain access to the medical records of patients hence the integrity of security and privacy of confidential data have been compromised. In this paper, we presented a secure protocol for cloud-assisted database using multi-factor authentication and blockchain as an added measure to ensure security. Accordingly, we prove that the presented scheme offers more security and privacy. Therefore, it is the most practical method to be applied in the medical field.

  E-Health care system is one of the great technology enhancements via using medical devices through sensors worn or implanted in the patient's body. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) offers astonishing help through wireless transmission of patient's data using agreed distance in which it keeps patient's status always controlled by regular transmitting of vital data indications to the receiver. Security and privacy is a major concern in terms of data sent from WBAN and biological sensors. Several algorithms have been proposed through many hypotheses in order to find optimum solutions. In this paper, an encrypting algorithm has been proposed via using hyper-chaotic Zhou system where it provides high security, privacy, efficiency and capacity in terms of long key space that ensures high resistance possibly obtained by any threat attack, key sensitivity is too high to any slight of change could be made in the encryption key and finally good statistical characteristic's analysis where the software has been used is microsoft visual studio version 10

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a new trend in the technology that provides remote mechanism to monitor and collect patient’s health record data using wearable sensors. It is widely recognized that a high level of system security and privacy play a key role in protecting these data when being used by the healthcare professionals and during storage to ensure that patient’s records are kept safe from intruder’s danger. It is therefore of great interest to discuss security and privacy issues in WBANs. In this paper, we reviewed WBAN communication architecture, security and privacy requirements and security threats and the primary challenges in WBANs to these systems based on the latest standards and publications. This paper also covers the state-of-art security measures and research in WBAN.

The wide applications of the Internet of Things and cloud computing technologies have driven the development of many industries. With the improvement of living standards, health has become the top priority of people’s attention. The emergence of the wireless body area network (WBAN) enables people to master their physical condition all the time and make it more convenient for patients and doctors to communicate with each other. Doctors can provide real-time online treatment with cloud-based smart healthcare environments for patients. In this process, patients, health records, and doctors need to maintain security and privacy. Recently, Kumari et al. proposed a secure framework for the smart medical system. However, we found that their framework cannot provide the anonymity of patients and doctors, data confidentiality, and patient unlinkability and also is subject to impersonation attacks and desynchronization attacks. In order to ensure the security and privacy of patients and doctors, we propose an authentication and key exchange protocol in cloud-based smart healthcare environments. Formal and informal security analyses, as well as performance analysis, demonstrated that our protocol is suitable for these environments.

In recent years wireless body area network (WBAN) technology has been accelerated due to the demands that arise to provide solutions to the problems such as population aging, various chronic diseases monitoring and to facilitate data collection. This increasing demands and WBAN deployments always comes with the cost of various security and privacy related problems. Designing an efficient framework to ensure both security protection and reliability in all critical events with considerable energy efficiency is a difficult task to accomplish, due to the multi modal dynamics of the WBAN network topology. The performance of security mechanism and authentication measures has a direct impact on the attainable system performance. In this paper, we briefly introduce unique transformation and data protection schemes for end-to end secured WBAN systems. Here, we first present color variant and key driven QR pattern generation techniques, how they utilized and meets the requirements of security and privacy in WBAN and validated the performance metrics and efficiency of proposed pattern generation and analyzes in providing solution of security and privacy in WBAN.

Abstract Continuous health status monitoring of the persons equipped with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is one of the key emerging technologies in the area of e-healthcare. In this technology, WBANs and Medical Service Providers (MSPs) are connected via a cloud infrastructure, where WBAN continuously uploads the present readings of physiological parameters via base station such as smart phone, smart watch, etc. Cloud analyzes the physiological parameters and whenever any medical emergency of the user is detected, it checks the infrastructural parameters including the location information of all MSPs connected to it and finds the most appropriate MSP to handle the medical emergency. This MSP selection task has to be performed efficiently so that the medical treatment of the user can start as early as possible. In the existing works, a trusted third party, namely, trusted authority (TA) actively participates in the MSP selection process, which may take undue advantages. The aim of the work in this paper is to remove the role of TA during MSP selection process. However, TA will participate in the system setup phase such that it cannot obtain any advantage in compromising the MSP selection task. The proposed scheme has been scrutinized through an adversary model and simulated using ProVerif tool to verify the security and privacy.
