In the struggle against population aging, chronic diseases, and a lack of medical facilities, the emergence of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) technology has ushered in optimism. WBANs use a variety of wearable and implanted biosensor nodes to constantly monitor physiological parameters such as oxygen saturation (SpO2), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyography (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), blood pressure, respiration rate, body temperature, and pulse rate. Importantly, these vital signs are communicated to a doctor over a public network, who can diagnose ailments remotely and efficiently. Among these communications, the security and privacy of patients are the prime concerns while transferring data over an open wireless channel from biosensor nodes to a Medical Server (MS) through a Base Station (BS) for efficient medical diagnosis. Finding an effective security strategy for patients which rely on WBANs to monitor their health information is a huge challenge due to the confined nature of the WBANs environment. To tackle the above challenges, in this research, a new, efficient, and secure healthcare-enabled software-defined WBANs architecture based on Schnorr signcryption and Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography (HECC) is suggested in which the SDN technology is integrated into WBANs. By separating the control and data planes in an efferent manner, SDN technology allows you to control and manage the network in a programmable manner. The main features of SDN, such as its programmability, flexibility, and centralized control, make it a simple and scalable network. In this research, first, a Software-Defined Wireless Body Area Networks (SD-WBANs) architecture has been designed, and then a lightweight Schnorr signcryption with Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography (HECC) has been proposed to preserve sensitive patient data security during transmission on public networks. Moreover, a well-known Multicriteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach known as Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) is also used to demonstrate the success of the suggested system. According to the performance analysis, the suggested approach beats previous state-of-the-art techniques in terms of computation cost, communication overhead, storage cost, and energy usage.

“…Chunka and Banerjee [17], proposed a scheme that consists of four phases out of which one of the phases is authentication and Key Agreement Phase. The nonce generated is random and is used for authentication purposes and eliminates replay attacks and it indicates the freshness of the message transmitted.…”

Within Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), wearable devices (WDs) capture vital parameters and process this information. The processed data is then conveyed to a wearable device controller (WDC) before being securely archived within a medical server. Data privacy preservation becomes imperative, preventing unauthorized access and potential compromise. The focal point of the presented research centers on safeguarding data privacy. This objective is accomplished through a two-fold approach: firstly, by encrypting the data within the wearable device controller before storage in the server; secondly, by regulating access to the data for different entities seeking to retrieve it. The innovation of this work lies in its emphasis on ensuring privacy within the wearable device controller itself. It is shown that privacy is obtained using minimum computations. Also, security analysis is performed by identifying various threats and how it is addressed. The encryption process, key generation, and key refreshing are executed employing the MATLAB programming environment.

“…In symmetric key-based authentication schemes, entities employ the same key for encrypting and decrypting data. C. Chunka et al [108] developed a symmetric key agreement scheme where entities use the same key for encrypting their messages, which is more lightweight for the IoMT environment. J. Xu et al [80] designed a streaming data authentication technique for the IoMT system using symmetric key agreement.…”

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionized the world of healthcare by remotely connecting patients to healthcare providers through medical devices connected over the Internet. IoMT devices collect patients’ medical data and share them with healthcare providers, who analyze it for early control of diseases. The security of patients’ data is of prime importance in IoMT. Authentication of users and devices is the first layer of security in IoMT. However, because of diverse and resource-constrained devices, authentication in IoMT is a challenging task. Several authentication schemes for IoMT have been proposed in the literature. However, each of them has its own pros and cons. To identify, evaluate and summarize the current literature on authentication in IoMT, we conducted a systematic review of 118 articles published between 2016 and 2021. We also established a taxonomy of authentication schemes in IoMT from seven different perspectives. We observed that most of the authentication schemes use a distributed architecture and public key infrastructure. It was also observed that hybrid cryptography approaches have become popular to overcome the shortcomings of single cryptographic approaches. Authentication schemes in IoMT need to support end-to-end, cross-layer, and cross-domain authentication. Finally, we discuss some open issues and future directions.
