Abstract

Wireless body area networks (WBANs), featuring wearable and implantable devices for collecting physiological data are increasingly critical in healthcare for enabling continuous remote monitoring, diagnostic improvements, and treatment optimization. Secure communication within WBANs is essential to protect sensitive health data from unauthorized access and manipulation. This paper introduces a novel secure digital (SD)- human body communication (HBC) Transceiver (TR) system, tailored for WBAN applications, that prioritizes security and offers significant enhancements in size, power efficiency, speed, and data transmission efficiency over current solutions. Leveraging a combination of frequency-selective (FS) digital transmission with walsh codes (WCs) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and incorporating one-round encryption and decryption modules, the system complies with the IEEE 802.15.6 standard, ensuring broad compatibility. Specifically, the QAM-based SD-HBC TR system exhibits a 4% reduction in chip area, a 7.6% increase in operating frequency, a 3.4% decrease in power consumption, a 27.5% reduction in latency, and improvements of 33% in throughput and 35.5% in efficiency. Importantly, it achieves a bit error rate (BER) of up to 10-8 , demonstrating high reliability across communication methods. This research significantly advances secure communication in WBANs, offering a promising approach for enhancing the reliability, efficiency, and security of healthcare monitoring technologies.

Abstract

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a key technology for the internet of things (IoT), with widespread applications in the commercial, healthcare, enterprise, and community sectors. However, privacy and security concerns remain with RFID systems. This manuscript presents a novel RFID-based mutual authentication protocol (MAP) using the PRINCE cipher to address these concerns. The proposed MAP leverages a PRINCE cipher architecture capable of both encryption and decryption based on a mode signal. It performs five encryption and two decryption processes during tag and reader mutual authentication, with updated seed values ensuring synchronization and secure data communication. The PRINCE cipher implementation utilizes less than 1% of slices, operates at 226 MHz with a latency of 3.5 clock cycles (CC), and has a throughput of 4.125 Gbps. The complete RFID-based MAP consumes 721 mW of power, occupies 2% of the chip area, and achieves a latency of 35.5 CC and a throughput of 262 Mbps. This represents a 25% reduction in latency, a 40% increase in throughput, and a 30% decrease in execution time compared to existing MAP approaches. The findings demonstrate the potential of the proposed MAP to enhance latency, throughput, and execution time, offering a promising solution for secure and efficient RFID authentication.
