Efficient and Location-Private Communication Protocols for WBSNs

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

To provide healthcare to large heterogeneous populations, one
envisions new ways of remote healthcare monitoring in the form
of ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare systems. However, the
widespread deployment of this technology will depend on the
extent to which security and privacy can be guaranteed. In this
article, we propose a set of efficient, practical and scalable cryptographic
protocols for wireless body sensor networks. Taking
into account the computational resources of the sensors, the cryptographic
operations performed by the latter exclusively rely on
symmetric key cryptography. Our communication protocols guarantee
data confidentiality, data authentication, and location privacy
of the patient. In addition, we propose an authorization
scheme based on time frames. This restricts the doctor's access
to the patient's medical data in time, and explicitly enforces the
minimal data disclosure principle. Our proposed remote monitoring
system outperforms the current state-of-the-art, since it
offers security and privacy protection, efficiency and scalability.
