“…As explained in [144], physical security measures are crucial to protect WBAN devices from physical tampering or unauthorized access. This includes secure packaging, tamper-evident mechanisms, and physical access controls to ensure the physical integrity and confidentiality of the WBAN devices [145]- [148]. In addition, users of WBANs should be educated about the importance of security practices and potential risks.…”

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.
