Analysis of Algorithms in Secure Transmission of Medical Data

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to research a collection of cryptographic algorithms to protect medical records within the context of mobile or web applications. Wireless Medical sensor Networks (WMSNs) are the key sanctioning technology in health care applications that enables the information of a patient’s important body parameters to be collected by wearable biosensors. Current WMSN health care research trends target patient reliable communication, patient mobility and energy-efficient routing. Security and Privacy protection of the collected information could be a major unresolved issue. To beat these problems, symmetric algorithms, attribute based encryptions techniques and many more algorithms are proposed.

Key Words- WMSN, symmetric algorithms, attribute based encryption techniques.
