A system of wirelessly communicative sensors embedded in a person's clothing. In order to remotely monitor and treat a patient's health, sensor devices are embedded in clothing, skin, and the human body itself. Healthcare, the military, sports, and remote treatment are just a few of the modern WBSN applications. It improves people's quality of life by allowing for more precise and quicker disease diagnosis as well as more timely care and more effective treatment. Even if a patient is far away from medical care, WBSN can still save their life. Despite the numerous benefits that WBSN technology brings to healthcare systems, there are legitimate concerns about security and privacy when it comes to collecting and transmitting physiological data about humans in an open setting. Ensuring the security of physiological data during transmission in a wireless environment is a challenging but crucial task. Key distribution, authentication, data integrity, and data confidentiality are just a few of the many security issues plaguing the WBSN. In tackling the WBSN security issues, this research contributes significantly. Secure transmission in wireless networks and high attack resistance are both provided by the cryptographic computational process. Nevertheless, the unsecure transmission of keys across networks is the sole vulnerability of public and private key cryptography methods. Attackers can easily crack traditional key sharing protocols used by communicating parties. Intruders can compromise the system's security in its entirety if they obtain the secret key. In WBSN, a secure way to generate and distribute secret keys is required. The EBB84QCP is a method for creating and sharing secret keys between communicating parties. Rather than using two prime numbers, the Enhanced and Modified RSA Cryptosystem (EMRSACS) suggests using four prime numbers for key generation, encryption, and decryption. Data transmission in wireless networks still involves a secret quantum key that is used for encryption and decryption of human body sense. The robust secrecy of WBSN is guaranteed by these two improved parameters: four prime numbers and a secret quantum key. Key generation, encryption, decryption, and overall execution time are all significantly longer with the suggested method compared to RSA. It uses more power and memory than is necessary for RSA.
