Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) faces several security problems such as loss of information, access control and authentication. As WBSN collects vital information and operates in unfriendly environment, severe security mechanisms are needed in order to prevent the network from anonymous interactions, authentication is the initial steps towards providing security. An enhanced authentication scheme prevents the system from imposters effectively. In this paper, a novel authentication using identity-based group signature (IBGS) protocol has been proposed to provide security to the WBSN. The proposed method employs identity-based group signature algorithm between biosensors and group manager (GM). An extensive set of experiments were carried out and the results are examined interms of computation cost and energy consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
