Abstract
Recent Advances in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) offer unprecedented opportunities and challenges to the development of pervasive electronic healthcare (E-Healthcare) monitoring system. In E-Healthcare system, the processed data are patients' sensitive health data that are directly related to individuals' privacy. For this reason, privacy concern is of great importance for E-Healthcare system. Current existing systems for E-Healthcare services, however, have not yet provided sufficient privacy protection for patients. In order to offer adequate security and privacy, in this paper, we propose a privacy-enhanced scheme for patients' physical condition monitoring, which achieves dual effects: (1) providing unlinkability of health records and individual identity, and (2) supporting anonymous authentication and authorized data access. We also conduct a simulation experiment to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves better performance in terms of computational complexity, communication overheads and querying efficiency compared with previous results.
