Extended abstract: Theorem proving verification of privacy in WBSN for healthcare systems

This extended abstract presents a work in progress on improving the verification of the security requirements of Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) in healthcare systems. Our investigation on this shows that most researchers are mainly using simulation to test healthcare systems. However, lack of simulation frameworks that support security, makes this method an improper technique to verify security in WBSN. Thus, a formal verification technique is proposed in this work for the verification of security aspects in healthcare systems. We adopt a firstorder theorem proving method (Event-B) to model WBSN and verify security requirements such as privacy at different levels of abstraction.
