Generating strong cryptographic key from body physiological signal in securing medical implants communication

"世界各地越来越多的人正在享受心脏起搏器和胰岛素泵等内部设备的健康益处。一个不幸的现实是，也有越来越多的人试图伤害他人。这些植入物的潜在网络安全威胁已成为令人担忧的原因。目前市场上用于应对这一威胁的解决方案存在许多已知的缺陷，这些缺陷会造成漏洞。格洛斯特郡大学和伦敦帝国理工学院的研究人员通过在植入设备和控制它的外部网关之间创建加密通信协议来克服这些缺陷。数百万人依赖医疗植入物来维持健康和福祉，Innovate UK的资助帮助研究人员完成了将解决方案推向市场的最后阶段。一种解决方案，将保护人们免受可能危及生命的网络安全攻击的威胁。"

"An increasing number of people around the world are enjoying the health benefits of internal devices such as cardiac pacemakers and insulin pumps. An unfortunate reality is that there are also an increasing number of people who seek to do harm to others. The potential cyber security threat to these implants has become cause for concern. The solutions currently on the market to counter this threat have a number of known flaws which create vulnerabilities.Researchers at the University of Gloucestershire and Imperial College London have overcome these deficiencies by creating an encrypted communication protocol between the implanted device and the external gateway that controls it. With millions ofpeople relying on medical implants for their health and wellbeing, Innovate UK funding has helped researchers to complete the final stages of bringing a solution to market. A solution which will protect people from the threat of a cyber-security attack that could have life threatening consequences."
