Abstract

The rapid development of wireless sensors has accelerated the popularity of wireless body area network (WBAN). WBAN use multiple sensors to collect the patient’s body data, and the data is transferred to the medical cloud for processing and analyzing. In order to protect the data in the medical cloud, some heterogeneous signcryption schemes that support equality test have been proposed. However, we observe that these schemes use the same cryptographic parameters in different cryptographic systems. In addition, most of these schemes cannot resist the replay attack (RRA) or know session temporary key attack (RKSTKA). To deal with these problems, this paper presents a cross domain heterogeneous signcryption scheme with equality test (CDSCET) for WBAN. In CDSCET, the ciphertexts are from certificateless cryptographic system to public key infrastructure, where two different cryptosystems use different cryptographic parameters. CDSCET can realize confidentiality, integrity, authentication, RRA and RKSTKA. Moreover, compared with three latest schemes, CDSCET has reduced the total computation cost by at least 56.46%.
