Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is vulnerable to various security threats including both active and passive attacks. It is important to implement effective security measures to mitigate these threats and ensure the security requirements of medical information transmitted over WBANs. In this paper, a comparison of the security features of different standards suitable for WBANs are presented. The various security protocols, made by different global standard organizations, such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), for WBAN, are analyzed. Moreover, it also presented their current work in the context of WBAN security and what their future directions are.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
