Healthcare security monitoring schemes for detection of node replication attack in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Due to the increased growth of elderly people in recent years, healthcare systems face many challenges on the money spent for those people. Both quality and affordability has to be provided by the new technology which is the todays need. When applying WSN technologies, the advantages such as continuous monitoring with alert mechanisms and relative information are to be satisfied. Among the other challenges, due to the deployed environment, security is a key challenge. As gateway connects to the wireless networks, it is the target area for many adversaries to launch various attacks. Initially, attacker launches node compromise attack which leads to node replication attack.
