... As smart applications have gained considerable momentum, WSN has become an area of enormous interest (Hussein et al., 2019). It is predicted that the growth of the WSN would be over 2 billion dollars by 2020 (Kim and Hong, 2013).In contrast to the traditional communication networks, WSN is characterized by higher unreliability and serve constraints in terms of computational and storage resources. The sensor nodes in WSN are equipped with sensing, processing, and transmitting capabilities. ...
An access control mechanism plays a critical role in new node deployment within a resource-constrained Wireless Sensor Networks. The deployment of a new node is inevitable either due to the outage of power or nodes getting compromised due to the adversary’s attacks. The access control scheme prevents malicious node deployment and also allows a new node to establish a shared key with its neighbors for secure communication. Besides having low communication and computational overheads, an access control mechanism must suffice to specific security and functional requirements for their practical implementations. In this paper, a provable and practical access control scheme based on Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) has been presented. The proposed access control scheme supports node privacy while addressing all other major functional and security requirements. The formal validation of the proposed scheme has been carried out using automated validation of internet security protocols and applications (AVISPA) and Scyther tools. A comparative study of the proposed scheme with the existing schemes has been carried out on various security and functional requirements suggesting a better trade-off. Finally, practical experimentation on TinyOS and MICAz motes has been carried out to provide detailed energy analysis and test-bed implementation of the proposed scheme.

Human Sensor Network (HSN) is an emerging technology that allows to remotely monitor, gather and maintain the information of patient's health parameters using bio-sensors. The bio-sensors are either implantable or wearable or may be stitched on the clothes of a patient. The collected health information is processed and maintained in a database server. The information from the database can be accessed by the users such as doctors, health servants, government, insurance agencies and by the patient or his relatives. Since, the information collected is related to thepatient's private health record, it is required to be safely stored and protected from an unauthorized access. Thus, Security and Privacy are the key issues in HSNs. In this paper, the infrastructure-based and adhoc-based communication architecture of HSN and challenges and measures of security and privacy issues have been reviewed.
... All this is a good example of how such rules and regulations should be enacted at a larger scope if any country adopts the WBAN technology. There are special conditions, for example a disaster or medical emergency that may require the divulging of patient health information to first responders [30]. Table 1 shows the major security threats, security requirements and the possible security solutions when using a WBAN. ...
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. Finally, open areas for future research and enhancements are explored.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are attracting attention from the research community. One of the key issues is to provide them with privacy protection. In recent years, a huge amount of contributions has been focused on this area. Surveys and literature reviews have also been produced to give a systematic view of the different approaches taken. However, no previous work has focused on privacy models, that is, the set of assumptions made to build the approach. In particular, this paper focuses on this matter by studying 41 papers of the last 5 years. We highlight the great differences appearing among related papers that could make them incompatible to be applied simultaneously. We propose a set of guidelines to build comprehensive privacy models so as to foster their comparability and suitability analysis for different scenarios.
... Sensor-enabled products and their networks are becoming commonplace, and central to everyday life, e.g., healthcare, smart homes, object tracking and monitoring, and so on. Moreover, according to the latest finding " wireless sensor networks 2012-2021 " [2] -WSN businesses will grow rapidly to over two billion US dollars for the future systems in 2022. WSNs consist of a large number of inexpensive sensors that have quite limited resources (e.g., low processing units, low bandwidth, limited battery power, and low memory) [3]. ...
For preventing malicious nodes joining wireless sensor networks (WSNs), an access control mechanism is necessary for the trustworthy cooperation between the nodes. In addition to access control, recently, privacy has been an important topic regarding how to achieve privacy without disclosing the real identity of communicating entities in the WSNs. Based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), in this paper we present a access control protocol with node privacy (called ACP) for the WSN. The proposed scheme not only accomplishes the node authentication but also provides the identity privacy (i.e., source to destination and vice-versa) for the communicating entities. Compared with the current state of the art, the proposed solution can defend actively against attacks. The efficacy and efficiency of the proposed ACP are confirmed through the test-bed analysis and performance evaluations.
