Body area networks (BANs) are formed to collect the healthcare data of a person for diagnosis and the provision of treatments. The prime motive of body area network devices is to collect and communicate legacy health-related data. These devices use simple authentication and key generation procedures to provide security with low power consumption and computational power. These procedures are vulnerable to many attacks, especially denial of service (DoS).
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.
