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.

“…Moreover, the results are compared with the state-of-the-art models by using the measures of frequency, Gates utilization count, power, area, sampling rate and propagation delay. Table I evaluates the comparison of the existing random number generation block in the hashing Memory design and proposed technique of VIHS in Cryptography with respect to the measures of components size based on the number of 2-input Hash Signature's, 3-Input Hash Signature's and the number of Flip-Flops that are referred from the paper [25]. For this analysis, some of the existing hashing with optimal Hash Signature designs have been considered.…”

Developing a bypass parallel processing block is one of the emerging and exciting research areas in the system encrypt/decrypt application areas. A Partial Pseudo-Randombased Hashing VIHS is the most suitable methodology for designing the system to encrypt/solve a block in cryptography. For this purpose, various VIHS and register techniques have been developed to process the storage system data. But, it is limited by the problems of reduced efficiency, increased computational complexity, high area consumption, and cost consumption. Thus, this research intends to develop a novel dynamic system register with hashing with optimal Hash Signature design to process the system's encryption /decrypt data. The main intention of this paper is to analyze the transfer characteristics of the current based on the pseudo-differential pair for a proficient system detection. Then, a system window can be created and adjusted to obtain an optimized power flow with less data loss sensitivity. The major stages involved in the proposed block design are register, partition design, and VIHS design. The dynamic system register is designed at first for getting a fast decision and to enable a low input-referred offset value. Then, the partition is formed concerning the output of the register, and the VIHS is used to produce the high proportional logical work. During performance evaluation, various measures have been utilized to analyze the performance of the proposed dynamic system registerbased hashing with optimal Hash Signature design. In addition to that, the estimated results are compared with the proposed technique to prove its efficiency.

“…This algorithm demonstrates better performance compared to AES in terms of execution time and immunity for statistical attacks. Sivasangari et al [39] proposed the SPECG encryption algorithm, which generates a unique 256-bit encryption key based on ECG data and applies RC7 [78] for data encryption. Key generation using either a genetic algorithm or a DNA sequence can exhaustively consume computation resources and may not be suitable for on node implementation.…”

“…While other parts of the network can be protected with generally well-known solutions, security design for sensor nodes is more challenging. Since a BSN's sensor nodes constantly share and transmit sensitive physiological, physical, and/or environmental information related to an individual to other devices in close proximity (a few meters) and eventually to the cloud, the privacy and security of the data is a major concern [34][35][36][37][38][39]. In addition, the miniaturized sensors have limited resources in terms of computation, battery power, memory, and network bandwidth [24,40].…”

Pervasive sensing with Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) is a promising technology for continuous health monitoring. Since the sensor nodes are resource-limited, on-node processing and advertisement of digested information via BLE beacon is a promising technique that can enable a node gateway to communicate with more sensor nodes and extend the sensor node’s lifetime before requiring recharging. This study proposes a Dynamic Light-weight Symmetric (DLS) encryption algorithm designed and developed to address the challenges in data protection and real-time secure data transmission via message advertisement. The algorithm uses a unique temporal encryption key to encrypt each transmitting packet with a simple function such as XOR. With small additional overhead on computational resources, DLS can significantly enhance security over existing baseline encryption algorithms. To evaluate its performance, the algorithm was utilized on beacon data encryption over advertising channels. The experiments demonstrated the use of the DLS encryption algorithm on top of various light-weight symmetric encryption algorithms (i.e., TEA, XTEA, PRESENT) and a MD5 hash function. The experimental results show that DLS can achieve acceptable results for avalanche effect, key sensitivity, and randomness in ciphertexts with a marginal increase in the resource usage. The proposed DLS encryption algorithm is suitable for implementation at the application layer, is light and energy efficient, reduces/removes the need for secret key exchange between sensor nodes and the server, is applicable to dynamic message size, and also protects against attacks such as known plaintext attack, brute-force attack, replaying attack, and differential attack.
