abstract: The advancement of semiconductor and ubiquitous technology resulted in a smart sensor networking system, which is an application of wireless sensor networks to health care applications (WMSN) Wireless Medical Sensor Network (WMSN) is a real time continuous patient monitoring system, which provides a cost optimal wireless sensor networking platform to track patient's physiological data through the sensors attached to patient body. Limited computational power, storage, communication and energy capacity of WMSN demands for energy efficient, light weight and high security mutual authentication schemes which provides unbreakable connectivity for end to end secure data delivery. In 2014, He et al. proposed an authentication scheme for WMSN and claimed that their scheme is light weight and resists all major cryptographic attacks. However, in this paper we will show that He et al scheme is vulnerable to offline password guessing attack and other major ones. As a part of our contribution, we will propose an energy efficient, light weight and highly secure authentication scheme for WMSN which 56% more energy efficient compared to He et al scheme and 20.18% compared to Kumar et al scheme.

abstract: Healthcare applications are considered as promising fields for wireless sensor networks, where patients can be monitored using wireless medical sensor networks (WMSNs) Current WMSN healthcare research trends focus on patient reliable communication, patient mobility, and energy efficient routing, as a few examples. However, deploying new technologies in healthcare applications without considering security makes patient privacy vulnerable. Moreover, the physiological data of an individual are highly sensitive. Therefore, security is a paramount requirement of healthcare applications, especially in the case of patient privacy, if the patient has an embarrassing disease. This paper discusses the authentication security and privacy issues in healthcare application using WMSNs. We highlight some popular healthcare projects using wireless medical sensor networks, and discuss their security. Our aim is to instigate discussion on these critical issues since the success of healthcare application depends directly on patient security and privacy, for ethic as well as legal reasons. In addition, we discuss the issues with existing security mechanisms, and sketch out the important security requirements for such applications. In addition, the paper reviews existing schemes that have been recently proposed to provide security solutions in wireless healthcare scenarios. Finally, the paper ends up with a summary of open security research issues that need to be explored for future healthcare applications using WMSNs.

year: 2016

abstract: Abstract Remote healthcare system is widely used in developed and developing countries. Rapid development in network technologies and Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) provide anytime anywhere access of healthcare data. But Sensor Web Enablement faces challenges such as privacy, security, scalability etc. This paper proposes a framework that addresses above issues. The proposed framework comprises of Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web services to provide health services to the doctors, caregivers and patients. In order to address the privacy issues of sensitive health data, the proposed framework uses role based authorization technique to formulate the rules and decide whether to allow or deny the user access request. The proposed framework has been implemented using Java. Experimental results show that the proposed SOA framework guarantees high quality service with average response time of 0.237 ms and average throughput of 87%

abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) enables all objects to connect to the Internet and exchange data via different emerging technologies, which makes the intelligent identification and management a reality. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as a crucial basis of IoT, have been applied in many fields like smart health care and smart transportation. With the development of WSNs, data security has attracted more and more attention, and user authentication is a popular mechanism to ensure the information security of WSNs. Recently, many authentication mechanisms for wireless medical sensor networks (WMSNs) have been proposed, but most of the protocols cannot achieve the features of local password change and forward secrecy while resisting stolen smart card attack. To enhance the security based on previous work, an ECC based secure three factor authentication protocol with forward secrecy for WMSN is proposed in this paper. It utilizes a fuzzy commitment scheme to handle the biometric information. Meanwhile, fuzzy verifier and honey_list techniques are used to solve the contradiction of local password verification and mobile device lost attack. The security of our protocol is evaluated by provable security, Proverif tool, and information analysis. Besides, the comparisons with the relevant protocols are given, and the results indicate that our protocol is robust and secure for WMSN systems.

abstract: We study mobility of sensors in our ongoing home care project, where care purpose sensors together with home automation devices are installed in private houses. The Internet of Things (IoT) solution is implemented in the project, as networks of IP enabled sensors and devices are built, based on standardized IoT protocols. Since wearable sensors are important for monitoring of health conditions, we investigate the performance of such networks with mobile nodes, by assessing MAC layer protocols and Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) We utilize the recently released Contiking operating system and its simulation tool: Cooja. In the first simulation scenario, we place a mobile node in networks with different densities of nodes, comparing MAC layer mechanisms: CSMA/CA and TSCH. In the second scenario, we focus on a given network where sensors are placed as in our modeled apartment. Under the certain network size and topology, we design schedule of TSCH and optimize control message interval of RPL to get better mobility supporting.

abstract: This paper presents the architectural design of a system for smart health care using Wireless Sensor Network. Patient health monitoring is a common task in health care areas from homes to hospitals. In proposed system, patients carry a batch of body sensors to collect their physiological parameters. The Arduino is attached on the body of patients, facilitates the sensor node and sends sensor data to the server using WiFi. WiFi being used in many hospital applications, provide very less interference to the functionality of other devices. The server detects abnormal conditions of patients using the threshold value and sends the SMS and e mail to the physician along with video feed. The system allows the mobility of the patient wearing the sensors and the video feed improves the communication with the doctor. Through this system we can improve the quality of treatment for the patients who may require the continuous remote health monitoring.

abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are one of the key enabling technologies for the internet of things (IoT) WSNs play a major role in data communications in applications such as home, health care, environmental monitoring, smart grids, and transportation. WSNs are used in IoT applications and should be secured and energy efficient in order to provide highly reliable data communications. Because of the constraints of energy, memory and computational power of the WSN nodes, clustering algorithms are considered as energy efficient approaches for resource constrained WSNs. In this paper, we present a survey of the state of the art routing techniques in WSNs. We first present the most relevant previous work in routing protocols surveys then highlight our contribution. Next, we outline the background, robustness criteria, and constraints of WSNs. This is followed by a survey of different WSN routing techniques. Routing techniques are generally classified as flat, hierarchical, and location based routing. This survey focuses on the deep analysis of WSN hierarchical routing protocols. We further classify hierarchical protocols based on their routing techniques. We carefully choose the most relevant state of the art protocols in order to compare and highlight the advantages, disadvantage and performance issues of each routing technique. Finally, we conclude this survey by presenting a comprehensive survey of the recent improvements of low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy routing protocols and a comparison of the different versions presented in the literature.
