CasCP: Efficient and Secure Certificateless Authentication Scheme for Wireless Body Area Networks with Conditional Privacy-Preserving

الملخص EN

As the aging population of society continues to intensify, the series of problems brought about by aging is becoming more and more serious.

Because the health problem of the elderly brings many social problems, people have paid close attention to it.

Fortunately, as a typical smart healthcare system, wireless body area networks (WBANs) present quit nice medical care for people, especially the aged.

However, personal health information is very sensitive.

But, the common communication channel is used in WBANs and any malicious entity can initiate a security attack on WBANs.

To ensure secure communication and privacy-preserving which are the premise of the sound development of WBANs, an improved and efficient certificateless authentication scheme with conditional privacy-preserving is proposed in this paper on the basis of analyzing the most recent presented certificateless authentication scheme for WBANs.

The proposed scheme also provides batch authentication to decrease authentication and communication cost.

A rigid security proof demonstrates that our proposed scheme resists every type of security attack and can provide condition privacy-preserving.

The performance analysis shows that our proposed scheme has some advantages in computation and communication cost.
