Abstract

Nowadays, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are mostly used in the healthcare industry. They represent a portable, inexpensive network that exhibition adaptability. The data developed using WBAN devices is vulnerable to transmission-related internal and external attacks; nevertheless, this vulnerability arises due to resource restrictions; by employing data aggregation technologies to conduct statistical analyses of medical data while protecting patient privacy, medical professionals can enhance the precision of diagnoses and assist medical insurance firms in selecting optimal plans for their clients. Maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive health information becomes more stimulating at the stages of aggregation and transmission due to security issues. This study proposes a novel method, Twofish Symmetric Key Generation (TFSKG), combined into a Secure Data Aggregation (SDA) and transmission system intended for WBANs. The Twofish technique is animatedly employed to make the secure symmetric keys chosen for its robust encryption capabilities. These keys are used to encrypt and decrypt aggregated health data through transmission. The proposed TFSKG-SDA method implements effective algorithms for aggregating data to safeguard end-to-end privacy and preserve data accuracy while reducing bandwidth consumption. Thus, for improved performance, an innovative genetic algorithm for data security is presented in this study. This paper introduces TFSKG-SDA, a system that, by employing rigorous simulation testing, enhances security protocols, resistance against recognized threats, and data transmission efficacy in the context of resource-constrained WBANs. We assess the encryption strength, computational cost, and communication efficiency of the TFSKG- SDA method to prove its significance to real-world healthcare applications.
