“…It is both computationally and communicationally efficient and has been rigorously validated through formal security proofs using BAN logic and the ProVerif tool. Noor et al [25] introduced a novel framework, termed a secure channel-free certificateless signcryption scheme, based on a hyperelliptic curve for WBANs. This scheme meets various security requirements and is lightweight in terms of computational and communication costs.…”

Public health monitoring system, which are an integral part of diseases monitoring system and policies formulation, progressively rely on complex networks to collect and analyze the data then make the public health statistics. These systems play an essential role in detecting diseases outbreaks, constraining spread directions, and formulating polices for the public health. This manuscript proposes development a continuous health monitoring system, which is designed to monitor the individual health cases in real time. Where, the system is used to securely transfer the participating individual's data to a medical server, to ease early detection of abnormal health cases. Firstly, the most important contribution of this manuscript is the recommendation to implement a continuous health monitoring system as a public health service. In order to improve the proposed system, experimental analysis are conducted to focus on improving network performance and reducing price. These analyses include assessing different network protocols and their configurations to specify the most effective and reliable method to transfer data. While the second contribution is to develop a new wearable device characterized by its lightweight design and low power consumption. This device considers as one of the basic components for the proposed system. It is provided by different sensors to monitor numerous of health conditions and is able to quickly switch between sleep and wake up modes to conserve energy. These features make the proposed device an effective tool in monitoring public health. Furthermore, this manuscript suggests a security model designed especially for wearable devices with constrain resources to meet a serious need in the age of digital information security. The suggested security model assurances the secure handling and transferring the sensitive health data, which is considered the most important demand of public health monitoring system.

“…An eHealthcare system with blockchain with Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) was introduced by Wang et al (14) . Similarly, a patient-centric framework for exchanging health information was proposed by the authors in (15) , while the authors in (16,17) recommended the use of blockchain based methodology to secure the system and establish privacy. An ehealth system was introduced in (18) that used an electronic medical storage record that could save patients' information using a tree-based blockchain algorithm.…”

Objectives: Blockchain technology can improve the security and privacy of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) systems in healthcare. The primary goal of this research is to address the privacy and security concerns in technologyloaded devices and gadgets by proposing a novel approach that integrates blockchain and advanced cryptographic techniques with WBAN. Methods: Simulated physiological data collected from multiple body sensors in a WBAN environment, along with network traffic data, were gathered. A modified algorithm is developed for signature encryption in WBAN systems using a hyperelliptic curve secure channel. This approach incorporates blockchain technology to strengthen security and privacy measures for efficient and safe data transfer and storage. To achieve this, a hyperelliptic curve-based technique is used along with an authenticated certificate-less signature key encryption model, which helps overcome various attacks, such as man-in-themiddle attacks, basic impersonation attacks, and key offset attacks. Findings: The proposed methodology is compared to traditional approaches to assess its effectiveness. This methodology is evaluated using parameters such as Hardware Security Model (HSM) operations and time taken, which demonstrate its superiority. It is observed that the proposed methodology records 3 hsm operations within 2.03 ms with Signcryption and 3 hsm within 2.35 ms with Unsigncryption, proving to be better than other traditional approaches. Novelty: The integrity, security, and privacy features of blockchain, make it difficult for malicious actors to crack or hack the system. The security measures are further enhanced by using a hyperelliptic curve-based technique and an authenticated certificate-less signature key encryption model. This approach also addresses multiple attacks providing a comprehensive solution for secure data transmission.

“…Due to the wide spread availability of 5G wireless technology, patients can now obtain preventative or proactive healthcare treatments from any location and at any time. Blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate, electrocardiogram, patient posture, breathing rate, and other signals can all be gathered, analyzed, and shared in real time between both the patient’s own electronic devices and the medical practitioner [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. WBANs can also provide information on patient care settings, room conditions, laboratory shift timings, treatment durations, and staff-to-patient ratios.…”

Thanks to the widespread availability of Fifth Generation (5G) wireless connectivity, it is now possible to provide preventative or proactive healthcare services from any location and at any time. As a result of this technological improvement, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged as a new study of research in the field of healthcare in recent years. WBANs, on the one hand, intend to gather and monitor data from the human body and its surroundings; on the other hand, biomedical devices and sensors interact through an open wireless channel, making them exposed to a range of cyber threats. However, WBANs are a heterogeneous-based system; heterogeneous cryptography is necessary, in which the transmitter and receiver can employ different types of public key cryptography. This article proposes an improved and efficient heterogeneous authentication scheme with a conditional privacy-preserving strategy that provides secure communication in WBANs. In the proposed scheme, we employed certificateless cryptography on the client side and Identity-Based Cryptography on the receiver side. The proposed scheme employs Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography (HECC), a more advanced variation of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). HECC achieves the same level of security with a smaller key size and a more efficient approach than its counterpart methods. The proposed scheme not only meets the security and privacy standards of WBANs but also enhances efficiency in terms of computation and communication costs, according to the findings of the security and performance analysis.
