What is it about?
As an important branch of Wireless Sensor Networks, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) has attracted widespread attention in various fields because of its portability and mobility. However, since a lot of the data collected by WBAN are related to personal information of the user, the sensitive private data may be at risk of leakage or malicious modification in the actual process of application and deployment. In order to assure the security and privacy of user’s data in the environment of WBAN, this paper presents A Data Privacy Protective Mechanism (DPPM) for WBAN. In order to data security and secure transmission, this mechanism combines symmetric key with an asymmetric key to transmit user’s data. Then, it cuts and reorganizes the data in the process of transmission to better defense capture and the attacks of the nodes. Ultimately transmits the user’s data securely under the condition that the data collected by the nodes are confidential and secure.

Why is it important?
This paper has presented a research on the protection of data security and privacy in WBAN from the perspective of data privacy protection. It proposes a multi-functional scheme for secure data transmission. The scheme utilizes the technology of the combination of the mature encryption arithmetic and the hash arithmetic as well as the cutting and reorganizing of data to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the parameter information and fault tolerance and robustness of the network.
