Enforcing Patient Privacy in Healthcare WSNs Using ECC Implemented on 802.15.4 Beacon Enabled Clusters
Jelena Mi · 2008
We consider healthcare wireless sensor networks implemented using 802.15.4 beacon enabled technology, in which security processors are implemented with low power microcontrollers. In this setting, we propose to use elliptic curve cryptography for key distribution, in order to decrease energy consumption compared to the better known RSA algorithm.
