Efficient and secure data delivery in software defined WBAN for virtual hospital

Abstract

Sedentary lifestyle and recent advancement in physiological low powered sensors triggers the concept of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) for efficient healthcare system. Proliferation of Cloud computing technology merged into WBAN become a new trend for smart healthcare. To manage the complexity in network infrastructure new technology named as Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been introduced recently. In terms of quality of service (QoS), medical data needs to be sent securely for a trustworthy system where every single data is sensitive for patient. In this paper, efficient data delivery system with a secured networking authentication protocol named as Kerberos has been proposed for software defined virtual hospital systems. This paper also demonstrate with simulation results for a better data delivery system with adequate networking security through Kerberos system for the next generation smart healthcare architecture.
