HealthTech '14 - Adaptive Information Security in Body Sensor-Actuator Networks

Adaptive Information Security in Body Sensor-Actuator Networks

Krishna K. Venkatasubramanian and Craig A. Shue, Worcester Polytechnic Institute

A Body Sensor Actuator Network (BSAN) consists of a set of sensing and actuating devices deployed on a person (user) typically for health management purposes. Securing the information exchanged within a BSAN from unauthorized tampering is essential to ensure that such systems are safe, and thus do no harm, to the people using them. Current solutions for enabling information security in BSANs impose …
