“…Hence, this scheme does not authenticate every entity of WBAN. Besides, Abiramy and Sudha [12] proposed a lightweight inter-BAN authentication scheme between the patient's mobile device and application providers. Further, this scheme creates a group key to support secure data transfer operation among the mobile terminal and sensor nodes.…”

“…Notably, none of the current schemes raise protection against the semi-trusted patient's mobile phone. Abiramy and Sudha [12] and Li et al [7] assumed that patient's mobile phone is their scheme is fully trusted. Besides, existing schemes do not provide endto-end authentication.…”

“…In literature, most works [6], [9], [10] proposed authentication mechanisms for the inter-BAN communication without providing any clue regarding the secure communication mechanism between the sensor nodes and the patient's mobile phone. Only [11], [12] mentioned a key establishment mechanism for the intra-BAN part while proposing an authentication mechanism for the inter-BAN communication. As sensitive health data passes through each WBAN entity, an end-toend authentication covering each communication between the WBAN entities is essential.…”

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) ensures highquality healthcare services by endowing distant and continual monitoring of patients' health conditions. The security and privacy of the sensitive health-related data transmitted through the WBAN should be preserved to maximize its benefits. In this regard, user authentication is one of the primary mechanisms to protect health data that verifies the identities of entities involved in the communication process. Since WBAN carries crucial health data, every entity engaged in the data transfer process must be authenticated. In literature, an end-to-end user authentication mechanism covering each communicating party is absent. Besides, most of the existing user authentication mechanisms are designed assuming that the patient's mobile phone is trusted. In reality, a patient's mobile phone can be stolen or comprised by malware and thus behaves maliciously. Our work addresses these drawbacks and proposes an end-to-end user authentication and session key agreement scheme between sensor nodes and medical experts in a scenario where the patient's mobile phone is semi-trusted. We present a formal security analysis using BAN logic. Besides, we also provide an informal security analysis of the proposed scheme. Both studies indicate that our method is robust against well-known security attacks. In addition, our scheme achieves comparable computation and communication costs concerning the related existing works. The simulation shows that our method preserves satisfactory network performance.

“…Moreover, it is necessary that the cryptography methodology implemented fits the ability of the nodes to reduce node computation overhead. For instance, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a better choice to used to secure communications for low capability nodes than RSA [22,23,24].…”

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a growing area of research in terms of applications, life enhancement and security. Research interests vary from enhancing network performance and decreasing overhead computation to solving security flaws. Secure Group Communication (SGC) is gaining traction in the world of network security. Proposed solutions in this area focus on generating, sharing and distributing a group key among all group members in a timely manner to secure their communication and reduce the computation overhead. This method of security is called SGC-Shared Key. In this paper, we introduce a simple and effective way to secure the network through Hashed IDs (SGC-HIDs). In our proposed method, we distribute a shared key among the group of nodes in the network. Each node would have the ability to compute the group key each time it needs to. We provide a security analysis for our method as well as a performance evaluation. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, we present for the first time a definition of joining or leaving attack. Furthermore, we describe several types of such an attack as well as the potential security impacts that occur when a network is being attacked.
