Abstract

The number of wearable electronic devices in the modern world is growing steadily. The amalgamation of these devices worn by a single person to form a network is known as body area networks. Traditionally, for ensuring the security of this type of network authentication protocols are used. Many protocols has been proposed for authenticating the mobile station with various service providers. The problem arises in Intra-BAN authentication. Specifically, when these devices area changed frequently. This paper presents authentication protocol specifically designed for operation in conditions of unstable connection with a certification center (center certification) also keeping in mind frequent change in devices. Similar scenarios may occur in the case of increased load in the existing network and in places with low cellular coverage or when operating in hard-to-reach (remote) areas. We have reviewed the closest analogues of the protocol, its relative advantages are analysed functioning scenario under consideration. A detailed description of the protocol is given. Our Protocol proved to ensure integrity and confidentiality about the user of the device.
