Design a sturdy and secure authentication scheme capable of early detection of COVID-19 patients using WBANs

Abstract

<p>COVID-19 was first reported in China Wuhan and rapidly grown up to more than 58 countries based on the World Health Organization (WHO). Well ahead of any health emergency, the health care server has the ability to access these data via authorization and then s/he performs necessary actions. In order to protect medical data from malicious activities, authentication is the starting point for this. Authentication systems represent a network support factor to reduce ineffective users and radically eliminate phishing because authentication determines the identity of the real user. Many schemes and technologies have been suggested for authentication in wireless body area networks (WBANs). In this paper, we suggest a strong dynamic password authentication system for WBANs. We adopt a (different/new) way to calculate a password and make it coherent and dynamic for each login session. Our work also provides additional security properties to get rid of hub node impersonation attacks and resolve key escrow issues. Our scheme resist fishing attach which keep patient from any illegal change of drugs. By comparison, the proposed scheme is considered active and has strong security based on formal security analysis tools such as AVISPA.</p>

Energy efficient routing protocols in wireless body area networks for health monitoring: a review

“…The wireless body area network consists of several sensors (nodes) which are either directly implanted within the body, deployed on the body or as wearable nodes near the body. These nodes are tasked with gathering the physiological data of the patient, which can vary, depending on the patient's diagnosis [6], [16], [17]. The architecture itself comprises of several tiers, in most cases 3 tiers are used, which is the Intra-WBAN communication tier, the Inter-WBAN communication tier and the Beyond-WBAN communication tier [15], [18], [19].…”
