摘要: A wireless body area network WBAN consists of low-power devices that are capable sensing, processing, and communication. WBANs can be used in many applications such as military, ubiquitous health care, entertainment, sport. The IEEE Std 802.15.6-2012 is the latest international standard for WBAN. In this paper, we scrutinize security structure perform a analysis on cryptographic protocols standard. We show some have subtle problems vulnerable to different attacks. Such vulnerabilities neutralize provisions specifically medical deal with sensitive information life-threatening. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
