Enhanced Authentication Scheme for Mobility Model in Medical Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

The advent of wireless sensor networks has brought significant advancements in healthcare, enabling remote interactions between medical professionals and patients. However, ensuring the security of communication in Medical Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) poses different challenges. To address this, this paper introduces a novel authentication framework designed for doctors and patients. The proposed mechanism incorporates essential features such as mutual authentication, anonymity, and data integrity, safeguarding the Medical Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN). Symmetric encryption techniques are employed to maintain the overall security of the system.
