An Efficient Mutual Authentication and Symmetric Key Agreement Scheme for Wireless Body Area Network

An Efficient Mutual Authentication and Symmetric Key Agreement Scheme for Wireless Body Area Network A Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is a wireless network in which sensors are embedded inside the body of a human, to monitor the health of patient continuously without any constraint in his normal daily life activities. As the information from the embed sensor is transmitted through wireless network and device has a limited battery power, therefore, the assurance of security in such tiny devices related to medical patients is highly recommended. Thus, the shared information must be maintained in terms of integrity, confidentiality, non-repudiation, untraceable key establishment, and mutual authentication in WBAN. In this context, to achieve high security and efficiency in WBAN, an efficient mutual authentication and secret key agreement scheme have been proposed in this paper and also listed out some drawbacks of an existing mutual authentication and key agreement of Li et al.’s scheme. To confirm the efficiency and security, the proposed scheme has been verified using formal security analysis tool namely, ProVerif and BAN logic. The low communication and computation costs indicate that our scheme is more suitable for practical application in healthcare as compared to other existing schemes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering Springer Journals

Abstract

A Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is a wireless network in which sensors are embedded inside the body of a human, to monitor the health of patient continuously without any constraint in his normal daily life activities. As the information from the embed sensor is transmitted through wireless network and device has a limited battery power, therefore, the assurance of security in such tiny devices related to medical patients is highly recommended. Thus, the shared information must be maintained in terms of integrity, confidentiality, non-repudiation, untraceable key establishment, and mutual authentication in WBAN. In this context, to achieve high security and efficiency in WBAN, an efficient mutual authentication and secret key agreement scheme have been proposed in this paper and also listed out some drawbacks of an existing mutual authentication and key agreement of Li et al.’s scheme. To confirm the efficiency and security, the proposed scheme has been verified using formal security analysis tool namely, ProVerif and BAN logic. The low communication and computation costs indicate that our scheme is more suitable for practical application in healthcare as compared to other existing schemes.
