Abstract :
Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has become imperative due to rapid advancement in medical technology. However, WBAN faces different security issues due to open air communication of information. In this paper, we have proposed a lightweight smart crypto solution using authenticated key exchange coupled with cluster head formation and selection for the security of WBAN. Our proposed solution logically combines cluster head selection with key agreement that fulfills the security requirement of wireless body area network, efficient in term of resource utilization.
