“…Unique Patient Identifiers need to be defined before such a scheme would receive widespread adoption. The broader community would also need assurance as to compliance with privacy and other similar legislation (Kara, 2001). It is further suggested that rather than use (random) digit identifiers, patient biometrics would provide a much better access mechanism -in other words comparing freshly captured biometric identifiers with those stored on the smart_device.…”

“…Patient monitoring using wireless technologies is being considered for improving the quality of healthcare to an increased number of patients, especially those in nursing homes and hospitals [1][2][3][4][5]. In general, patient monitoring requirements include periodic transmission of routine vital signs and transmission of alerting signals when vital signs cross a threshold, patients cross a certain boundary, or device battery drops below a level.…”

Patient monitoring is becoming a requirement for offering a better healthcare to an increasing number of patients in nursing homes and hospitals. During the monitoring, vital signs of patients could fluctuate significantly and/or match certain undesirable patterns and therefore "alerts" or emergency messages must be delivered to healthcare professionals. There has been some work in using infrastructure-oriented wireless networks for transmission of emergency messages, however, the network coverage and reliability of message delivery have not been satisfactory. To overcome these, we propose that ad hoc networks can be formed among patients' devices for improved transmission of emergency messages. We also propose several design enhancements to improve the quality and coverage of patient monitoring. The performance results for the proposed ad hoc network based architecture show that reliable message delivery and low monitoring delays can be achieved by using multicast or broadcast-based routing schemes..

“…From equation (6), the lower bound on W is (20 + 2 × 10) = 40 seconds. Let's assume that W can be set to a minimum of 120 seconds due to key generation and distribution overhead and other concerns.…”

“…One may avoid using a long duration key by partitioning the traffic of a long session into several sub-flows. However, each of these flows requires additional set-up overhead 4 [6]. For usage scenarios described herein, TKS would be ideal for replacing IKE or other expensive key exchange algorithms (viz, instead of using IKE to change keys for sub-flows of a long session).…”

“…To reduce the overhead, it is desirable to use a cryptographic mechanism whose maximum key lifetime is just right for the task at hand. After D and e are determined for the system, a lower bound on W can be obtained based on the deliverability condition, i.e., equation (6). Once W is set, a lower bound on T can be determined from the security condition, i.e., equation (3).…”
