With the application of wireless body area networks, patients can be remotely monitored by doctors. WBANs collect the medical data and transmit it over the internet for further processing. There is need to ensure security of such highly sensitive data over the network. This has deliberately attracted researcher interest to provide WBAN security by integrating blockchain. This chapter discusses internet of things (IoT) architecture of WBANs and proposes a lightweight secure access control using blockchain to achieve higher performance.
