Abstract
Wireless body area network (WBAN) is mainly used in the field of health care, which is composed of sensors for collecting patient data. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data obtained by medical staff or patients, the secure data transmission within the body area network becomes particularly important. Both sensors and controllers must have a strict mutual authentication to prevent malicious sensors and controllers from collecting and eavesdropping private data. To address the problem of user identity authentication in WBAN, a group authentication scheme is proposed. It supports the authentication of identity validity before the information interaction between the controller and each sensor node. Also, all signatures from sensor nodes can be aggregately checked by the controller. Security analysis indicates that the proposed scheme is existentially unforgeable against adaptively chosen message attacks, and theoretical analysis shows that it is more efficient than existing schemes.
