“…• Jamming Attack: The adversary tries to prevent the reception of signals at the sensor nodes in the network [13]. • Tampering Attack: Sensors are physically tampered which may damage a sensor, replace the entire sensor, or a part of its hardware to acquire patient's information or shared cryptographic keys [14]. • Unfairness Attack: Attackers intercept the medium access control (MAC) precedence.…”

“…Cryptographic techniques are the main authentication mechanisms which can be arranged into symmetric cryptography (also called secret key cryptography), asymmetric cryptography (also known as public key cryptography [PKC]) [42] and hash functions (also called one-way encryption or message digests) [14,43,44]. Cryptography and authentication methods are used to provide the secure communication between the sensor nodes in WBAN [45].…”

WBANs are of the promising technologies, applied in the e-healthcare systems, for extracting and transferring critical medical data from patient body. In WBANs, the privacy and integrity of the patient's private medical data are very important, as a result, the WBANs communications and even communication with other E-Healthcare components should be authenticated and secured. This paper provides a complete survey and analysis of the various authentication schemes proposed in the literature to improve the WBANs security. Besides, it classifies the proposed authentication schemes based on the applied techniques for authentication and illustrates each scheme in detail. Furthermore, it highlights the advantages and limitations of the authentication schemes and presents a comprehensive comparison of their capabilities and features. Finally, the paper concludes with open issues and future research directions.

“…In the early 20 th century, Tesla 14,15 attempted to transmit power wirelessly even before the dawn of the electrical power grid. His proposal, like many others 16,17 , requires the generation of large electric fields in order for a reasonable amount of power to be transmitted. In order to avoid the need for large electric fields, recent arXiv:1605.08931v1 [cond-mat.mes-hall] 28 May 2016 efforts have turned towards magnetic systems.…”

We calculate the dispersion relations for magnon waves on a periodic chain of spherical or cylindrical Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) particles. We use the quasistatic approximation, appropriate when kd 1, where k is the wave number and d the interparticle spacing. In this regime, because of the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between the localized magnetic excitations on neighboring particles, dispersive magnon waves can propagate along the chain. The waves are analogous to plasmonic waves generated by electric dipole-dipole interactions between plasmons on neighboring metallic particles. The magnon waves can be longitudinal (L), transverse (T ), or elliptically polarized. We find that a linearly polarized magnon wave undergoes a Faraday rotation as it propagates along the chain. The amount of Faraday rotation can be tuned by varying the off-diagonal component of the permeability tensor. We also discuss the possibility of wireless power transmission along the chain using these coupled magnon waves.

“…The security mechanisms deployed in WSNs are not the best solutions for WBANs [2]. WBAN applications require different security services [5,6].Wireless communication is prone to different attacks [7]. Communications through a wireless network make the information prone to eavesdropping, modification, or loss.…”

A wireless body area network (WBAN) consists of low-power devices that are capable of sensing, processing, and wireless communication. WBANs can be used in many applications such as military, ubiquitous health care, entertainment, and sport. The IEEE Std 802.15.6-2012 is the latest international standard for WBAN. In this paper, we scrutinize the security structure of the IEEE 802.15.6-2012 standard and perform a security analysis on the cryptographic protocols in the standard. We show that some protocols have subtle security problems and are vulnerable to different attacks. Such vulnerabilities neutralize the security provisions in the standard specifically for medical applications that deal with sensitive information and security problems can be life-threatening.
