Wireless medical sensor network is used in healthcare applications that have the collections of biosensors connected to a human body or emergency care unit to monitor the patient's physiological vital status. The real-time medical data collected using wearable medical sensors are transmitted to a diagnostic centre. The data generated from the sensors are aggregated at this centre and transmitted further to the doctor's personal digital assistant for diagnosis. The unauthorised access of one's health data may lead to misuse and legal complications while unreliable data transmission or storage may lead to life threatening risk to patients. So, this Letter combines the symmetric algorithm and attribute-based encryption to secure the data transmission and access control system for medical sensor network. In this work, existing systems and their algorithm are compared for identifying the best performance. The work also shows the graphical comparison of encryption time, decryption time and total computation time of the existing and the proposed systems.
无线医疗传感器网络用于医疗保健应用,其中生物传感器收集器连接到人体或急救护理单元,以监测患者的生理生命体征。使用可穿戴医疗传感器收集的实时医疗数据被传输到诊断中心。传感器生成的数据在该中心进行汇总,然后进一步传输到医生的个人数字助理进行诊断。未经授权访问个人健康数据可能会导致滥用和法律纠纷,而不可靠的数据传输或存储可能会给患者带来危及生命的风险。因此,本文结合对称算法和基于属性的加密技术,以保障医疗传感器网络的数据传输和访问控制系统安全。在这项工作中,对现有系统及其算法进行了比较,以确定最佳性能。该工作还展示了现有系统和所提出系统的加密时间、解密时间和总计算时间的图形比较。
