Reference Security Architecture for Body Area Networks in Healthcare Applications

摘要: Body Area Network (BAN) and Wireless (WBAN) are being used in the healthcare industry to improve medical outcomes by monitoring treating patients while they go about their everyday lives. BAN facilitates data collection from human body via a small wearable or implantable sensor. This technology has improved quality of services provided lowered some associated costs. wide range applications such as patients' conditions enhancing response treatment plans, but at same time security privacy among major concerns BAN-based systems must be kept secure adverse events attackers during transmission storage. paper reviewed communication standards, threats vulnerabilities - based well existing mechanisms. Based on review proposed reference architecture which focuses developing foundation layer called Tier 1. The incorporates IEEE802.15.6 standard, provides baseline. will assist manufacturers auditors develop ensure BAN.
