“…Nonetheless, the authors give security to physiological data, but they didn"t discuss which symmetric cryptosystem they utilized, and didn"t analyze the energy potency for security services. www.ijacsa.thesai.org Kang et al [26] for pervasive healthcare introduced a wearable context-aware system. The context-aware system is made out of wearable sensor systems, wearable PCs and communication modules.…”

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a collection of wireless sensor nodes which can be placed within the body or outside the body of a human or a living person which in result observes or monitors the functionality and adjoining situations of the body. Utilizing a Wireless Body Area Network, the patient encounters a greater physical versatility and is never again constrained to remain in the hospital. As the Wireless Body Area Network sensor devices is being utilized for gathering the sensitive data and possibly will run into antagonistic situations, they require complicated and very secure security medium or structure to avoid the vitriolic communications within the system. These devices represent various security and privacy protection of touchy and private patient medical data. The medical records of patients are a significant and an unsolved situation due to which a changing or exploitation to the system is possible. In this research paper, we first present an overview of WBAN, how they utilized for healthcare monitoring, its architecture then highlight major security and privacy requirements and assaults at different network layer in a WBAN and we finally talk about various cryptographic algorithms and laws for providing solution of security and privacy in WBAN.

“…In numerous healthcare systems presented in the literature , the researchers proposed generally a similar architecture to our system, based on one hop communication in WBAN. In this architecture, wearable devices of a patient are connected wirelessly to a relay node, which is generally an embedded device (it could be a smart phone) connected to the Internet through wireless local area networks (WLANs) or 3G/4G to transmit physiological data of a patient to a remote server.…”

Technology has revolutionized medical practices by enabling more convenient and non-intrusive monitoring of patient's health, leading to next generation ubiquitous healthcare (u-healthcare). The exploitation of the Internet protocol version 6 addressing space along with the miniaturization of electronic devices has fostered providing interoperability and connectivity of wearable sensor devices in wireless body area networks to the Internet of Things. In this paper, we propose to integrate the IPv6 over low power wireless personal area network (6LoWPAN) to the u-healthcare monitoring system architecture. The main objective is to study the feasibility of the 6LoWPAN-enabled platform in real-world scenarios dealing with medical data. The performance evaluation of this platform is carried out initially through simulations using OMNet++ and then supported by an experimental study using sensor motes and a customized micro-computing unit. Performance metrics such as throughput, end-to-end delay, packet error rate, and energy consumption are investigated under acute health conditions, where patient's health information has to be sent continuously and at maximum rate to the care provider. The obtained results show that the proposed 6LoWPAN solution fulfills the main quality of service requirements of u-healthcare applications.

“…Past research has mostly focused on ensuring that healthcare IT meets the requirements set out by HIPAA regulations. Many researchers have identified the need to focus on the security of UHIS [Kang, Lee, Ko, Kang, et al, 2006]. Legal aspects of UHIS and the need to regulate the UHIS landscape have also been identified [Venkatasubramanian and Gupta, 2007].…”

Ubiquitous healthcare information system is increasingly seen as a viable option for reducing the inherent time lag and inaccuracies in the traditional model of healthcare and promoting the delivery and practice of evidence-based healthcare-as and when needed-without any location and time constraints. Although promising, the realization of ubiquitous healthcare information system brings several threats and risks rooted in real-time collection, analysis, storage, transmission, and access of critical medical data. In this research, we address information security concerns pertaining to the paradigm of ubiquitous healthcare information system. To accomplish this we use National Institute for Standards and Technology's (NIST's) system development lifecycle model (SDLC) as the underlying framework to explore the current state of ubiquitous healthcare from the perspective of security. We then leverage the model to propose future research directions in this area. By implementing the NIST's SDLC model in such a manner, we offer a different dynamic of healthcare security that has not been addressed in literature before.
