“…On the other hand, signature based schemes have also been developed to prevent non-repudiations. For instance, a lightweight distributed model based on signatures is introduced by Alaparthy and Morgera [56] , while an energy-efficient scheme for key agreement and authentication is developed by Iqbal, J. et al [57] . Unfortunately, many security attacks cannot be prevented in this protocol [57] .…”

Wireless sensor networks process and exchange mission-critical data relating to patients’ health status. Obviously, any leakages of the sensed data can have serious consequences which can endanger the lives of patients. As such, there is need for strong security and privacy protection of the data in storage as well as the data in transit. Over the recent past, researchers have developed numerous security protocols based on digital signatures, advanced encryption standard, digital certificates and elliptic curve cryptography among other approaches. However, previous studies have shown the existence of many security and privacy gaps that can be exploited by attackers to cause some harm in these networks. In addition, some techniques such as digital certificates have high storage and computation complexities occasioned by certificate and public key management issues. In this paper, a certificateless algorithm is developed for authenticating the body sensors and remote medical server units. Security analysis has shown that it offers data privacy, secure session key agreement, untraceability and anonymity. It can also withstand typical wireless sensor networks attacks such as impersonation, packet replay and man-in-the-middle. On the other hand, it is demonstrated to have the least execution time and bandwidth requirements.

“…Further, the protocol in [44] is vulnerable to denial of service attacks and cannot uphold perfect forward secrecy [49] nor can it ensure session key agreement. To prevent this attack, an energy-efficient authentication and key agreement protocol is developed in [50]. Although the technique incurs less communication, memory and computation overheads [51], it cannot withstand many security attacks [52].…”

The continued advancement of information communication technologies (ICT) has led to the adoption of internet of things in the healthcare sector. One of such application domain of ICT is the wireless body area network (WBAN), which enables remote monitoring of vital biomedical parameters on the patient or the elderly. Upon collection of these parameters, they are forwarded to the remote hospital servers where analysis and appropriate actions are taken. Obviously, the data exchanged in these networks is sensitive and private and hence can have devastating effects on the patient if leaked to the unintended parties. Consequently, many security solutions have been developed in literature. The goal of this paper is to carry out an extensive review of these security schemes in an effort to pin point their strengths and weaknesses. Based on the findings, it is evident that many of these security solutions try to attain a number of security and privacy protection. However, it is noted that these schemes still lack many of the required security goals such as anonymity, untraeability, forward key secrecy as well as resistance to many of the conventional attacks. Therefore, some recommendations for the attainment of perfect privacy and security are given towards the end of this paper.

“…Next, we used two well-known security verification approaches, BAN logic [21] and AVISPA [22], to formally analyze the authentication protocols. Unfortunately, many security protocols designed for IMDs are not formally verified, or they use only one verification method [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

The need for continuous monitoring of physiological information of critical organs of the human body, combined with the ever-growing field of electronics and sensor technologies and the vast opportunities brought by 5G connectivity, have made implantable medical devices (IMDs) the most necessitated devices in the health arena. IMDs are very sensitive since they are implanted in the human body, and the patients depend on them for the proper functioning of their vital organs. Simultaneously, they are intrinsically vulnerable to several attacks mainly due to their resource limitations and the wireless channel utilized for data transmission. Hence, failing to secure them would put the patient’s life in jeopardy and damage the reputations of the manufacturers. To date, various researchers have proposed different countermeasures to keep the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of IMD systems with privacy and safety specifications. Despite the appreciated efforts made by the research community, there are issues with these proposed solutions. Principally, there are at least three critical problems. (1) Inadequate essential capabilities (such as emergency authentication, key update mechanism, anonymity, and adaptability); (2) heavy computational and communication overheads; and (3) lack of rigorous formal security verification. Motivated by this, we have thoroughly analyzed the current IMD authentication protocols by utilizing two formal approaches: the Burrows–Abadi–Needham logic (BAN logic) and the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA). In addition, we compared these schemes against their security strengths, computational overheads, latency, and other vital features, such as emergency authentications, key update mechanisms, and adaptabilities.
