Advances in wearable and implantable biosensors have enabled the applicability and usability of wireless body area networks (WBANs). A WBAN allows biosensors to collect and communicate human physiological data using wireless communication. The communication security of the collected data in WBAN is a major concern. Because of the dependability of cryptographic schemes for key management, these have become an important aspect of this security. However, the extremely constrained nature of biosensors has made designing key management schemes a challenging task. For this reason, many lightweight key management schemes have been proposed to overcome these constraints. In this article, we present a review of the state of the art of these solutions. We classify the WBAN schemes into three classes and evaluate them based on adequate metrics for key management in WBAN.
可穿戴式和植入式生物传感器的进步使无线体域网 (WBAN) 的适用性和可用性成为可能。WBAN 允许生物传感器使用无线通信来收集和传输人体生理数据。WBAN 中收集数据的通信安全性是一个主要关注点。由于密码方案在密钥管理方面的可靠性,这些方案已成为该安全性的一个重要方面。然而,生物传感器的极度受限性质使得设计密钥管理方案成为一项具有挑战性的任务。出于这个原因,已经提出了许多轻量级密钥管理方案来克服这些限制。在本文中,我们对这些解决方案的最新进展进行了综述。我们将 WBAN 方案分为三类,并根据适用于 WBAN 中密钥管理的充分指标对它们进行评估。
