Abstract Wearable body area network (WBAN) aids the communication
between the health providers and patients by supporting health monitoring
services. It assists the users to maintain their health status records by collecting
the body signals and transmitting them for further processing measurements.
However, sensor data are publicly transferred through insecure network that
facilitates the attacker malicious acts like performing masquerading attack, man
in the middle, and snooping. Several authentication techniques were suggested to
levitate the security of the communication channels to preserve the user data
from exposure. Moreover, authentication schemes aid plenty of security issues
related to user and data privacy,… More >
