A Novel Approach to Information Security in Medical Sensor Networks

Abstract

Objective: Preservation of patient’s medical information in health care industries under Medical Sensor Networks (MSN). Methods: This paper proposes a novel key management technique known as k- secure with FBKM, which generates a robust key to allow communication between sensors present in the Body Sensor Units (BSU) and Body Central Unit (BCU). This proposed work strengthens the FBKM technique which is placed between BCU and the point accessible to medical experts at a remote place in the overall health care monitoring environment. Results: The FBKM technique has proved its success in authentication and security by improving genuine acceptance rate, false rejection rate, and declining false acceptance rate. Conclusion: The k- secure with FBKM scheme enhances the performance of the existing FBKM scheme in Medical Sensor Networks.
