无线体域网（WBAN）的发展已经导致医疗和健康护理系统的显著进步。然而，这些网络仍然受到重大的安全和隐私威胁，特别是对于医疗或保健应用中收集的数据。WBAN中匿名通信的存在和安全性的不足导致了这些网络的运行失败。最近，Li等人提出了一种用于无线体域网中可穿戴传感器的轻量级协议。在他们的论文中，作者声称该协议可以提供匿名的相互认证，并抵抗各种类型的攻击。这项研究表明，这样的协议仍然容易受到三种类型的攻击，即，离线身份猜测攻击、传感器节点冒充攻击和集线器节点欺骗攻击。然后，我们提出了一个安全的计划，解决这些问题，并保留类似的效率在无线传感器节点和移动的手机。
The advancement of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) have led to significant progress in medical and health care systems. However, such networks still suffer from major security and privacy threats, especially for the data collected in medical or health care applications. Lack of security and existence of anonymous communication in WBAN brings about the operation failure of these networks. Recently, Li et al. proposed a lightweight protocol for wearable sensors in wireless body area networks. In their paper, the authors claimed that the protocol may provide anonymous mutual authentication and resist against various types of attacks. This study shows that such a protocol is still vulnerable to three types of attacks, i.e., the offline identity guessing attack, the sensor node impersonation attack and the hub node spoofing attack. We then present a secure scheme that addresses these problems, and retains similar efficiency in wireless sensors nodes and mobile phones.
