Abstract

Recent technical advancements in computing and wireless communication technology allowed the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which provides promising opportunities in health care diagnosis and management. The patient related data generated from WBAN is often stored in a distributed manner and there is always a demand for context aware, flexible, cryptographically enforced and privacy enhanced WBANs under stringent resource constraints like limited memory, processing power and energy. In this paper, we identified the problem of securely accessing patient related data which is often stored in untrusted health care cloud servers. In order to assure the privacy of patient related data, we propose CRYPE (Cryptographically enforced and Privacy enhanced) scheme which has its roots on attribute based encryption technique. Our security and performance analysis demonstrate that the CRYPE scheme is able to achieve desired security requirements and it is highly efficient to resist various attacks and malicious behaviour.
