“…This scheme, called TinyZKP, allows a receiver R to verify that a piece of data originates from a sender S without leaking any secret information. The results in [13] demonstrate that the performance of TinyZKP is better compared to other existing approaches (i,e. T-ECDSA, W-ECDSA), in terms of execution time, memory requirement and energy consumption.…”

Abstract-Wireless body area network(WBAN) has shown great potential in improving healthcare quality not only for patients but also for medical staff. However, security and privacy are still an important issue in WBANs especially in multihop architectures. In this paper, we propose and present the design and the evaluation of a secure lightweight and energy efficient authentication scheme BANZKP based on an efficient cryptographic protocol, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) and a commitment scheme. ZKP is used to confirm the identify of the sensor nodes, with small computational requirement, which is favorable for body sensors given their limited resources, while the commitment scheme is used to deal with replay attacks and hence the injection attacks by committing a message and revealing the key later. Our scheme reduces the memory requirement by 56.13 % compared to TinyZKP [13], the comparable alternative so far for Body Area Networks, and uses 10 % less energy.

SummaryWireless body area networks (WBANs) are a network designed to gather critical information about the physical conditions of patients and to exchange this information. WBANs are prone to attacks, more than other networks, because of their mobility and the public channel they use. Therefore, mutual authentication and privacy protection are critical for WBANs to prevent attackers from accessing confidential information of patients and executing undetectable physical attacks. In addition, in the authentication and key agreement process, messages should be transferred anonymously such that they are not linkable. In this paper, we first indicate that one of the most recently introduced authentication protocol is vulnerable to the wrong session key agreement attack and desynchronization attack. Second, we propose a lightweight authentication and key agreement protocol, which can withstand the well‐known attacks and provide the anonymity feature. Eventually, we analyze the security of our proposed protocol using both Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) and random oracle model and compare its performance with the related works. The results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed protocol in comparison with the other protocols.

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.
