最近无线通信和生理传感技术的进步使得微型、轻量化、超低功耗、智能监测设备可以集成到无线身体传感器网络(WBSN)中进行健康监测。人类的生理信号，如心跳、温度和脉搏，可以使用微型生物医学无线传感器从远处进行监测。因此，将普适计算与移动医疗技术相结合，使用无线传感器和智能手机来监控心脏病、帕金森和癫痫患者等慢性病患者的健康状况是非常必要的。由于患者的生理数据高度敏感，因此对其进行保密是非常必要的。因此，安全性是移动医疗(MHealth)应用中的一个重要研究问题，特别是当患者患有令人尴尬的疾病时。本文提出了一种适用于移动健康应用的三层安全体系结构，其中提出了轻量级的数据机密性和认证协议来保护患者的隐私。此外，考虑到无线车身传感器的能量和硬件限制，设计了低复杂度的数据保密和认证方案。性能评估表明，该体系结构既能满足传感器的能量和硬件限制，又能保持无线人体传感器网络的安全结构。此外，与标准密钥建立安全方案相比，所提出的方案在能量消耗、内存使用和计算时间方面都具有更好的性能。
Recent technological advances in wireless communications and physiological sensing allow miniature, lightweight, ultra-low power, intelligent monitoring devices, which can be integrated into a Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) for health monitoring. Physiological signals of humans such as heartbeats, temperature and pulse can be monitored from a distant location using tiny biomedical wireless sensors. Hence, it is highly essential to combine the ubiquitous computing with mobile health technology using wireless sensors and smart phones to monitor the well-being of chronic patients such as cardiac, Parkinson and epilepsy patients. Since physiological data of a patient are highly sensitive, maintaining its confidentiality is highly essential. Hence, security is a vital research issue in mobile health (mHealth) applications, especially if a patient has an embarrassing disease. In this paper a three tier security architecture for the mHealth application is proposed, in which light weight data confidentiality and authentication protocols are proposed to maintain the privacy of a patient. Moreover, considering the energy and hardware constraints of the wireless body sensors, low complexity data confidential and authentication schemes are designed. Performance evaluation of the proposed architecture shows that they can satisfy the energy and hardware limitations of the sensors and still can maintain the secure fabrics of the wireless body sensor networks. Besides, the proposed schemes can outperform in terms of energy consumption, memory usage and computation time over standard key establishment security scheme.
