“…[2] An important aspect of medical sensors and electronic health data is privacy and security. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] For example, there have been demonstrations of the ability of an adversary to control a popular insulin pump from a long distance through its wireless link. [9][10][11] Ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) technology has only been recently made available by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and can provide novel solutions for body area networks.…”

We present a demonstration of a novel protocol for secure transmissions on a Ultra-wideband impulse radio that includes distance bounding. Distance bounding requires radios to be within a certain radius to communicate. This new protocol can be used in body area networks for medical devices where security is imperative. Many current wireless medical devices were not designed with security as a priority including devices that can be life threatening if controlled by a hacker. This protocol provides multiple levels of security including encryption and a distance bounding test to prevent long distance attacks.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a term used to describe a network of sensor devices connected wirelessly for communication on, in and near the body to obtain physiological data from sensor devices. This paper explain the implementation of WBAN for monitoring body temperature, heart beat rate and oxygen saturation in blood. We develop the sensor reads physiological data to the desktop application, then will read the printout of the series and create a visual in the tables and graphs, as well as storing the data into a database and displayed via a website in the form of reports that can be accessed remotely. We analyze the data received from sensor nodes to server receiver with a variety of different distances 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 meters. The experiment results show that the physiological data can be accessed through ZigBee wirelessly in short distance which suitable for WBAN.

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are an exciting technology that will revolutionize physiological monitoring in the coming years. However, the widespread deployment of WBANs is restricted by steep energy limitations. Furthermore, they require acute security measures to protect user medical data. We aim to measure the energy consumption of a cellphone as it transmits and encrypts data in a mock WBAN scenario. We evaluated the impact of various design parameters in an effort to discover the ideal WBAN operational protocols. In conclusion, we recommend an optimal file size strategy, data communication network, and encryption algorithm that minimize energy consumption and enhance WBAN operation.
