Abstract

Due to the rapid progression of wireless engineering systems, a special domain of sensor network which supports medical diligences, is the development of the autonomous wireless body area network. In this type of environment it is useful for things such as monitoring the health condition of senior citizens. The sensed signal can monitor several types of measurements such as electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), skin temperature, skin conductance or electrooculography (EOG) etc., it then compares with the standard level and the information is passed to the care takers or hospital for further necessary actions using a hybrid network of cryptography which nowadays is crucial. Privacy information is vital and it must be safe guarded from several aggressors. We propose a method of crypt analyst method using a cluster pattern of key mechanism which provides an assured, efficient and improved way to increase the lifetime of the network.
