Description: TOPIC: KEY AGREEMENT SCHEMES FOR WBAN USING SET RECONCILIATION
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
A Body Area Network, formally defined by IEEE 802.15 as a communication standard optimized for low power devices and operation on, in or around the human body (but not limited to humans) to serve a variety of applications including medical, consumer electronics / personal entertainment and other, has many promising healthcare applications. However, there are some risks of insecure communications in Body Area Networks (WBAN). The existing security approaches of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) may not be suitable for WBAN, due to extreme resource limitations of body sensor nodes.
In this project I implemented and analyzed a broadcast based key agreement scheme for intra-WBAN communications, in terms of False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR) derived from the generated time variant (Electrocardiogram) EKG signals. The scheme is validated based on the real EKG signals from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The obtained results are further compared and analyzed in terms of efficiency. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of the key agreement schemes in securing the WBAN communications.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
Advisor: Dr. Honggang Wang
Committee Members: Dr. Liudong Xing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Dr. Firas Khatib, Department of Computer and Information Science
