Abstract

Domain knowledge

Today, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is widely used for general purposes. With the propagation of the Internet of Things (IoT), security issues arise wherever the healthcare devices are used exclusively for data transfer protocols. These network protocols are easily susceptible to attack. Although it is problematic to save sensing information from the body sensors, the loss of signal messages will often occur in an IoT environment. Thus security is a supreme requirement in health care applications, especially in the case of patient privacy.

Methodology

In this paper, an IoT health care communication system is designed to implement the integration using CoAP based Secure-aware Mobility Management Protocol (CoSMP) in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) based IoT environment. The proposed protocol is extremely effective to secure the sensing information of the device node wherever they are moving and additionally, it is accustomed to offer secure data transmission between the node and web client. Our protocol establishes a pairwise key between the networks according to an exact algorithm, namely Advanced Encryption Standard Cipher Feedback Message Authentication Code (AES-CFMAC) algorithm, and handover operation could be authenticated by Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). Numerical analysis and performance result imposes the proposed scheme is simulated in terms of network delay and handover delay.

Result

Experimental results depict that the proposed protocol has been compared with the previous protocol in terms of security and mobility management. Hence, the numerical result would be evaluated based on the measures of Total Transmission Delay (TTD) on the variation of wireless link delay, sensor node delay, link failure probability delay, hop count between the gateway and WMMS in the network delay with the low delay of 303.55, 1.6, 700 and 80 in ms respectively and also performance measures of Handover Delay (HD) achieves 1212.5, 1.212, 49.46 and 1453.8 in ms respectively. The percentage in terms of using performance measures of TTD and HD is compared between proposed and existing schemes resulted in (COMP = 0.3632%, COMP-G = 0.2712 % and COSMP = 0.2532%) and (COMP = 0.3188%, COMP-G = 0.2421 % and COSMP = 0.2133%) respectively.
