Abstract
Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a network providing healthcare, which is becoming more and more popular. However, the crucial issues of security and privacy in WBAN should still be considered. In this paper, we propose a secure access control scheme for WBAN, which is based on ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE). Specifically, if the physician has attributes that satisfy the access structure set by the patient, he/she can decrypt the patient’s physiological data. A secure two-party protocol is adopted to protect data from internal attacks. In addition, our scheme can implement the strategy that physicians at different levels can only access the corresponding information of patient, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of access. Security analysis indicates that proposed scheme can resist various security threats and achieve privacy preservation of patients’ sensitive information. Compared with related schemes, our scheme is more secure and efficient.
