  Abstract

With the development of microelectronics and ICT(Information and Communication Technology), a patient can access medical services using micro sensors and wearable devices at anytime and anywhere. However, because the medical services are provided via a public network, the sensitive information of patients are vulnerable to various attacks such as replay and impersonation attack. Therefore, a user authentication scheme becomes an important security issue in WBAN(Wireless Body Area Networks). Recently, to solve the security issue, Zhao et al. and Gao et al. proposed an authentication scheme using elliptic curve cryptosystem and chebyshev chaotic maps based cryptosystem respectively. However, because of limitation of battery and computation ability, traditional cryptosystems such as RSA and ECC are not suitable for WBAN. In this paper, we propose a lightweight authentication scheme using symmetric key techniques to improve the efficiency of Zhao et al. and Gao et al.’s scheme. Our proposed scheme also prevents various attacks such as insider, replay, impersonation and smart card stolen attacks. In addition, we prove that our scheme provides secure mutual authentication using BAN (Burrows-Abadi-Neddham) logic. We also analyze the performance of our scheme compared with related schemes. Therefore, our proposed scheme is practically applicable for WBAN environments.
