Abstract

A rapid development of the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has become very important for applications in telemedicine and m-health. However, there is still a need to ensure a reliable and secure communication in these systems. In this paper we present a novel multi-channel key deployment scheme for wireless body sensor networks. The proposed key deployment scheme requires no public key cryptography and therefore is suitable for CPU-constrained sensor nodes. The solution is implemented on commercially available wireless sensor nodes while the performance of the system is shown through the experiments with users.

I am a Full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Computing at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB), University of Split, Croatia, where I teach wireless network security, wireless communication networks, data science and reinforcement learning. My research spans information security, applied cryptography and the Internet of Things. Before returning to FESB in 2020, I was an assistant and then associate professor at the University Department of Forensic Sciences in Split. I co-founded the SpliTech international conference and serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Communications Software and Systems.
