A secure data authentication in wireless body area network for health monitoring using electrocardiogram-based key agreement

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) comprises of a set of biomedical sensors, which are implanted into or placed around a human body to serve a variety of network applications constantly. One of the applications, the ubiquitous health monitoring, has improved the ability of healthcare providers to del...
