“…Techniques like data integrity checks, digital signatures, and hash functions can help detect and prevent data tampering [85]- [88]. However, anauthorized access refers to the attempt by an unauthorized entity to gain access to the WBAN network or its resources [89], [90]. Attackers may try to exploit vulnerabilities in the network infrastructure or compromise weak authentication mechanisms to gain unauthorized access.…”

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged as a promising technology for remote health monitoring and healthcare applications. However, ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive health data in WBANs is crucial to foster user trust and prevent unauthorized access or data breaches. This paper provides an overview of the key challenges, techniques, and research gaps in WBAN security and privacy. The findings indicate that the challenges in WBAN security and privacy include resource constraints, compatibility issues, privacy concerns, dynamic network environments, security and usability trade-offs, emerging threat landscape, and user awareness and education. To address these challenges, various security techniques have been developed, such as authentication and authorization mechanisms, encryption, access control, secure communication protocols, intrusion detection systems, and privacy-preserving data handling techniques. Despite the progress made, there are research gaps that require further investigation. These research gaps include the development of secure and lightweight authentication mechanisms, privacy-preserving data analysis techniques, trust and security management frameworks, resilience to insider threats, security of data aggregation and fusion, user-centric security designs, and addressing legal and ethical considerations. Addressing these research gaps and challenges requires collaboration between researchers, device manufacturers, policymakers, and end-users. Ongoing research and innovation are necessary to develop robust security techniques, privacy-enhancing technologies, and user-friendly solutions tailored for WBANs. Additionally, compliance with privacy regulations, user education, and awareness are critical for responsible and ethical use of WBANs.

The dynamic connectivity and functionality of sensors has revolutionized remote monitoring applications thanks to the combination of IoT and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Wearable wireless medical sensor nodes allow continuous monitoring by amassing physiological data, which is very useful in healthcare applications. These text data are then sent to doctors via IoT devices so they can make an accurate diagnosis as soon as possible. However, the transmission of medical text data is extremely vulnerable to security and privacy assaults due to the open nature of the underlying communication medium. Therefore, a certificate-less aggregation-based signature system has been proposed as a solution to the issue by using elliptic curve public key cryptography (ECC) which allows for a highly effective technique. The cost of computing has been reduced by 93% due to the incorporation of aggregation technology. The communication cost is 400 bits which is a significant reduction when compared with its counterparts. The results of the security analysis show that the scheme is robust against forging, tampering, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The primary innovation is that the time required for signature verification can be reduced by using point addition and aggregation. In addition, it does away with the reliance on a centralized medical server in order to do verification. By taking a distributed approach, it is able to fully preserve user privacy, proving its superiority.
