The recent development of wireless body area network (WBAN) technology plays a significant role in the modern healthcare system for patient health monitoring. However, owing to the open nature of the wireless channel and the sensitivity of the transmitted messages, the data security and privacy threats in WBAN have been widely discussed and must be solved. In recent years, many authentication protocols had been proposed to provide security and privacy protection in WBANs. However, many of these schemes are not computationally efficient in the authentication process. Inspired by these studies, a lightweight and secure anonymous authentication protocol is presented to provide data security and privacy for WBANs. The proposed scheme adopts a random value and hash function to provide user anonymity. Besides, the proposed protocol can provide user authentication without a trusted third party, which makes the proposed scheme have no computational bottleneck in terms of architecture. Finally, the security and performance analyses demonstrate that the proposed scheme can meet security requirements with low computational and communication costs.

To Come

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
