Abstract

In this paper, we propose a practical authentication system based on Wireless Body Area Networks(WBAN) for U-healthcare medical information environments. The proposed authentication system is based on symmetric cryptosystem such as AES and is designed to not only provide security such as data secrecy, data authentication, data integrity, but also prevent replay attack by adopting timestamp technique and perform secure authentication between sensor node, master node, base-station, and medical server.

본 논문에서는 U-헬스케어 의료 정보 환경을 위한 무선 인체 영역 네트워크(WBAN) 기반의 실용적인 인증 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 인증 시스템은 AES와 같은 대칭키 암호 시스템을 기반으로 동작하며 데이터 기밀성, 데이터 인증, 데이터 무결성 등의 보안성을 보장할 뿐만 아니라 타임스탬프 기술을 적용하여 재전송 공격 방지 및 센서 노드, 마스터 노드, 베이스 스테이션, 의료 서버 사이에 안전한 인증을 수행하도록 설계하였다.
