“…In the VITRUVIUS project [2], we aim to develop a body sensor platform, on which applications and components can be uploaded and installed dynamically, which is selfcontained and can connect to backend systems (e.g., a hospital system) if required [3]. The VITRUVIUS's BSN consists of sensors together with a more powerful device, called the body hub, that is capable of storing data and running software components (see Figure 1).…”

Abstract-Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) are used for diverse applications ranging from monitoring for medical purposes, sport coaching to computer gaming. A foreseen usage scenario for a BSN is the installation of third-party monitoring applications. Existing applications can also be extended by downloading and installing new components dynamically. Dependability and security properties must be preserved under these changes while the user of the BSN must have a transparent view on data usage and installed software. To that end we propose an efficient trust management model and we investigate policies and mechanisms to express and control the data usage.

Wireless medical sensor networks (MSNs) enable ubiquitous health monitoring of users during their everyday lives, at health sites, without restricting their freedom. Establishing trust among distributed network entities has been recognized as a powerful tool to improve the security and performance of distributed networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. However, most existing trust systems are not well suited for MSNs due to the unique operational and security requirements of MSNs. Moreover, similar to most security schemes, trust management methods themselves can be vulnerable to attacks. Unfortunately, this issue is often ignored in existing trust systems. In this paper, we identify the security and performance challenges facing a sensor network for wireless medical monitoring and suggest it should follow a two-tier architecture. Based on such an architecture, we develop an attack-resistant and lightweight trust management scheme named ReTrust. This paper also reports the experimental results of the Collection Tree Protocol using our proposed system in a network of TelosB motes, which show that ReTrust not only can efficiently detect malicious/faulty behaviors, but can also significantly improve the network performance in practice.
