SecPMS: An efficient and secure communication protocol for continuous patient monitoring system using body sensors

摘要

Secure communication in a continuous patient monitoring system (PMS) through body sensors is required to keep privacy on user's and sensors' secret information and data respectively. This paper presents a secure communication protocol for PMS (SecPMS) in order to get efficient and secure services in such environment. Robustness of the proposed protocol is analyzed using random oracle and it shows that SecPMS provides strong security against possible known attacks. Furthermore, performance comparison is given as an evidence which establishes the efficiency of SecPMS than related existing protocols with respect to time complexity of computation.
