Title
Efficient And Secure Pairing-Free Certificateless Aggregate Signature Scheme For Healthcare Wireless Medical Sensor Networks
Abstract
Recent advancements in wireless communication technologies have led to the development of practical applications, such as infrastructure monitoring, earthquake monitoring, environment monitoring, remote healthcare monitoring, etc. In these applications, we may integrate the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with Internet of Things (IoT), where sensor nodes join the Internet dynamically and use it to collaborate and accomplish their tasks. In e-healthcare system, wireless medical sensor nodes continuously monitor and collect the physiological information and transmit the same to healthcare professionals through IoT terminals. To overcome the limitations in communication and computational capabilities in sensors and to attain privacy in healthcare wireless medical sensor networks (HWMSNs), few signature schemes were proposed in the literature. However, most of these schemes are insecure against various attacks. Hence to ensure privacy and security in medical data, in this paper, we proposed an efficient pairingfree aggregate signature scheme for HWMSNs in certificateless system. We exploit aggregation technique in certificateless system without using pairings to reduce computational complexity and transmission overhead in transferring the data. Our scheme achieves full aggregation to improve communicational efficiency and performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme is more efficient.
