Abstract
A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a network of wirelessly connected sensing and actuating devices. WBANs used for recording biometric information and administering medication are classified as part of a Cyber Physical System (CPS). Preserving user security and privacy is a fundamental concern of WBANs, which introduces the notion of using biometric readings as a mechanism for authentication. Extensive research has been conducted regarding the various methodologies (e.g., ECG, EEG, gait, head/arm motion, skin impedance). This paper seeks to analyze and evaluate the most prominent biometric authentication techniques based on accuracy, cost, and feasibility of implementation. We suggest several authentication schemes which incorporate multiple biometric properties.
Highlights
A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is an interconnected network of wearable sensing devices.A WBAN network composed of medical sensors can be categorized as a Cyber Physical System (CPS).This subset of WBAN devices consists of special linked sensors made to work independently and continuously to connect with other medical devices, which can be planted either inside or outside the human body [1]
The main purpose of this paper is to examine and evaluate the biometric techniques that have been used in several studies on WBANs to verify patient identities
We focus on medical applications of WBAN devices
Summary
A WBAN network composed of medical sensors can be categorized as a Cyber Physical System (CPS) This subset of WBAN devices consists of special linked sensors made to work independently and continuously to connect with other medical devices, which can be planted either inside or outside the human body [1]. The patient has several sensors and actuators that record data, which is transmitted to the central unit This information is passed on via the Internet to a medical center. The devices often perform sensing functions in a two-hop star topology and transmit information to the central receiver. These devices are extensively used in areas including medicine, sports, gaming, entertainment, and emergency response [2].
