Securing Patient Data in Wireless Body Area Sensor Network Using Biometrics Based Key Generation

Abstract

Introduction: A Wireless Body Area Sensor Network (WBASN) implements wearable devices interconnected with each other and connected to a central monitor acting as a Base Station. Ensuring data security and secure communication is challenging due to resource constrained environment. Secure communication is ensured with cryptography which requires good key generation techniques. Keywords: Wireless body area sensor network (WBASN), secure communication, cryptography, biometrics, cryptographic key generation.
