User Authentication and Secure Data Communication Based on Mobile Phone for Medical Sensor Network

Wireless sensor network provides services anytime and anywhere they are requested. Especially, medical sensor network based on biosensors is applied a lot to biotechnology and medical engineering. In medical sensor network, people can make their health checked at home free from temporal and spatial constraints. In ubiquitous healthcare environment, people can get instant help even in the emergency, and in hospital, patients can be taken care of efficiently. In this environment, health and life related data are delivered, and the privacy and security of personal data are very important. In this paper, we propose user authentication and data communication mechanism in two modes, normal and urgent situation using cellular phone. Through our proposal, data can be transferred in quick and secure manner.
