“…The solution is provable secure against spoofing, impersonation, denial of service, manin-the-middle, replay, and privileged-insider attacks due to the use of formal modeling. The researchers in [35] presents a 3-layer architecture for secure and controlled health data sharing from wireless body area networks using blockchain and smart contracts. By combining software-defined networking prioritization and coordination with blockchain transparency and programmability, the proposed patient-controlled data sharing framework aims to address key security, consent, and interoperability challenges in connected health ecosystems.…”

This paper proposes a new architecture which addresses the challenge of creating a unified storage cloud out of multiple independent cloud storage by developing a decentralized configuration management system named Durna. Durna integrates blockchain and software defined storage technologies and creates a unified decentralized service while preserving each autonomous unit independent. Durna is capable of generating, distributing, and applying configuration files among nodes in the storage network in a stable, and decentralized manner. By achieving this, the software defined storage gains the decentralized management capability, while still benefiting from its established capabilities in guaranteeing storage service quality. To ensure the system's effectiveness and prevent unforeseen problems, a formal model of the decentralized configuration management system was created and evaluated using model-checking. At the end, we discussed our experience of deploying the primitive Durna hyper-cloud system.

“…Blockchain based authentication is another way of establishing network security but, this time without pre agreed authentication keys. There are many different approaches by various research groups to establish blockchain based security systems for WBANS [12], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47]. Kumari et al proposed a blockchain for the connection between the wireless master device of the WBAN and the gateway of the health database, but they need to have another authentication method for tier 1 devices [46].…”

Hassan et al proposed a secure data sharing framework for SDN based WBANs where the blockchain is implemented on the data storage and user access level [45] while row data transmission between the tier 1 devices and the off chain data storage need to be protected using different security mechanisms. Wang et al have proposed a blockchain based secured architecture for eHealth applications to work in collaboration with the body area network, however, their network can have a user number limitation which makes it unsuitable for large medical center applications [12].…”

In this paper, a comprehensive review of the wireless body area network is provided. A review of the WBAN architectures, standard network topologies, and WBAN communication protocols is discussed in detail. Also, the security requirements of WBAN, security threats and types of attacks, and authentications used in WBAN are discussed. The paper also includes very detailed coverage of antenna types, antenna designs, and flexible antennas used in WBAN with some design considerations and comparisons. Some new energy harvesting technologies, materials used for energy harvesting, and energy management are also discussed. Energy harvesting and power management is an ever-growing area of research. Despite the fact that there are many nanogenerator-based energy harvesting methods, the demand for more efficient energy harvesting mechanisms is ever-increasing. The paper has an extensive discussion of energy harvesting and power management methods. Subsequently, some reviews of recent developments in wearable sensors and novel materials for developing wearable sensors are discussed. Finally, the application areas of WBAN are discussed INDEX TERMS Body area network, network security, wireless communication protocols, wearable sensors, energy harvesting, WBAN, flexible sensors, IoT.

The widespread use of cloud storage enables users to access their resources remotely via a self-service model. Utilizing pay-per-use storage services provided by cloud service providers (CSPs) requires users to commit financially to their resources. This paper introduces an SCS framework that provides a secure architecture for cloud storage using a consortium blockchain network to solve the trust issue. This framework substitutes the third-party auditor with peers of a consortium blockchain network, which handles the role of data storage and verification. The storage space is segmented between uncommitted and committed storage, where uncommitted storage is designated for storing unverified documents. In contrast, committed storage is designated for the storage of committed documents. Those data documents that have undergone consensus validation by a specified threshold of peer nodes will be transferred to committed storage. The implementation of the SCS framework is carried out on Hyperledger Fabric. The security analysis proves that SCS effectively safeguards cloud storage against devastating attacks while preserving its integrity and auditability. The performance analysis reveals that the metrics for document upload time, document retrieval time, block acceptance time, execution time, and latency are optimal compared to state-of-the-art techniques.
