An LBP Based Key Management for Secure Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)

(BANs) gained immense consideration due to its applicability in the medical field. In this paper we propose a Hybrid type of Key management technique which uses human Physiological Values based generated keys as well as some preloaded keys in order to secure the wireless communication of BAN. We assume BAN to be a heterogeneous sensor network having the capability of measuring different physiological values from human body. The process is made efficient by using LBP for feature generation from Electrocardiogram (EKG/EKG) signal. The security analysis is evaluated through NIST -- a randomness testing suite.
