A Wireless Time-Scaling Chaotic Shift Keying Encryption System For Biosensing Systems

This work presents a wireless time-scaling chaotic shift keying encryption system that can be used in wireless body area network applications. In wireless sensor nodes, the communication protocol being used provides some security measures and is implemented in software. However, no additional security measures are usually implemented. This paper demonstrates a discrete level real time encryption system using analog circuitry on a printed circuit board. The encryption system uses op amps, multipliers and resistors to implement the encryption. To implement wireless capabilities, commercial wireless microcontrollers using Bluetooth Low Energy were added, and a custom Bluetooth Low Energy profile was created to stream the analog encrypted signal.Clinical relevance— This work demonstrates an encryption system for wireless sensor devices for improved protection of private health information.
