At present, COVID-19 is still spreading and affecting millions of people worldwide. Minimizing the need for travel can significantly reduce the probability of infection and improve patients’ quality of life. The wireless body area network (WBAN) transmits the patients’ physiological data to the doctor remotely through the sensors in a way that mini...

An insulin pump is a small wearable medical gadget which can mimic the way a healthy pancreas functions by providing continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for the patient. However, in the current products, the access to the pump is not securely controlled, rendering the pump insecure to harmful or even lethal attacks, such as those that lead to...

Wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) mostly consist of low-cost sensor nodes and implanted devices which generally have extremely limited capability of computations and energy capabilities. Hence, traditional security protocols and privacy enhancing technologies are not applicable to the WB-SNs since their computations and cryptographic primitives...

Physiological signals such as ECG and EMG are closely related with human health and a long term monitoring of the physiological signals would be beneficial to detect possible disorders at the early stage. The wet electrodes currently used in the clinics require adhesives gels to record high-quality signals, which might cause discomfort of the patie...

Wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) provide a platform to track and monitor human health status as well as feedback to the user by capturing and processing certain physiological signals. Since WBSNs need to provide efficient health information privacy, their security has been identified as one of the major challenges, especially for rehabilitatio...

In current investigations toward security, most solutions based on wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) are relied on the application of cryptography. The generation of random numbers (RNs) and statistical test of the number's randomness are crucial part of many cryptographic systems. To guarantee the safety and reliability for WBSNs applications,...

Binary numbers (BNs) generation is crucial for wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) security because they can be utilized for authentication or encryption of physiological data in WBSNs for healthcare applications. The paper compared pseudorandom number generators and biometrics based binary number generators for WBSNs, i.e. generated from the lin...

Wireless body sensor network (WBSN), a key building block for m-Health, demands extremely stringent resource constraints and thus lightweight security methods are preferred. To minimize resource consumption, utilizing information already available to a WBSN, particularly common to different sensor nodes of a WBSN, for security purposes becomes an a...

Body area networks (BANs) are emerging as one of the main research trends in recent years, particularly in the area of personal health monitoring. Since health data are private and sensitive information, the security of data transmission within a BAN becomes a critical issue that requires immediate attention. In this paper, we attempt to examine po...

Body sensor networks (BSNs) have emerged as a new technology for healthcare applications, but the security of communication in BSNs remains a formidable challenge yet to be resolved. The paper discusses the typical attacks faced by BSNs and proposes a fast biometric based approach to generate keys for ensuing confidentiality and authentication in B...

Security and privacy are among the most crucial issues for data transmission in tele-healthcare applications. The paper proposes a biometrics based solution, combining encryption and authentication for wireless communication within a body sensor network (BSN), as well as between a BSN and a remote server (RS) of a tele-healthcare system. The method...

Security and privacy are among the most crucial issues for data transmission in telemedicine systems. This paper proposes a solution for securing wireless data transmission in telemedicine systems, i.e. within a body sensor network (BSN), between the BSN and server as well as between the server and professionals who have assess to the server. A uni...
