摘要:Wireless body area networks have grown more attention in healthcare applications. The development of WBAN is essential for tele medicine and Mobile healthcare. It enable remote patient monitoring of users during their day to day activities without affecting their freedom. A WBAN is a network of sensors placed on the human body for monitoring healthcare information. The surveillance of the person can be performed through wearable sensors. The WBAN used for diverse applications including healthcare applications and athlete monitoring .In WBAN, the body sensors in and around the patient body that collect all patient information and transferred to remote server through wireless medium. The wearable sensors are able to monitor vital signs such as temperature, pulse, glucose information and ECG. However there are lots of research challenges in WBAN when deployed in the network. The sensors have limited resources in terms of memory, size, memory and computational capacity. In this paper,we proposed secure communication between the sensor nodes using selective encryption.The RC6 algorithm is appled for that selective encryption.
