On Vulnerabilities of the Security Association in the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard
نویسنده
چکیده
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) support a variety of real-time health monitoring and consumer electronics applications. The latest international standard for WBAN is the IEEE 802.15.6. The security association in this standard includes four elliptic curve-based key agreement protocols that are used for generating a master key. In this paper, we challenge the security of the IEEE 802.15.6 standard by showing vulnerabilities of those four protocols to several attacks. We perform a security analysis on the protocols, and show that they all have security problems, and are vulnerable to different attacks.

متن کاملAn Improved Protocol for the Password Authenticated Association of IEEE 802.15.6 Standard That Alleviates Computational Burden on the Node
The IEEE Std 802.15.6 is an international standard for wireless body area networks (WBANs). It contains many aspects of communications, and also provides security services, since some communications in WBANs can carry sensitive information. In this standard, the password authenticated association is a protocol for two participants to identify each other and establish a new master key based on a...
متن کاملWireless Body Area Networks Medium Access Control ( MAC ) : IEEE 802
With recent advances in wireless networking, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) became practically feasible. Body Area Networks are defined by the IEEE 802.15.6 standard. However, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC can also be used for WBANs as it is cheap and simple. This paper presents a study about the standards IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6. In this paper, both IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 are explain...
متن کاملSecurity testing of session initiation protocol implementations
The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
متن کاملAn Energy Analysis of IEEE 802.15.6 Scheduled Access Modes for Medical Applications
Medical body area networks will employ a range of implantable and body worn devices to support a wide range of applications with diverse QoS requirements. The IEEE 802.15.6 working group is developing a communications standard for low power devices operating on, in and around the body and medical devices are a key application area of the standard. The ISO/IEEE 11073 standard addresses medical d...
