Security and Privacy in Body Sensor Networks - E-Healthcare Systems and Wireless Communications - page 127

the first challenge is represented in achieving the
correct balance between the complexity of the
security operations and the energy consumption
they incur and the second challenge is to attain the
right tradeoff between privacy and safety by utiliz-
ing the patient's vital signals and other context-
related information to minimize the amount of
patient private data released. The chapter ends by
providing a brief overview of some cryptographic
APIs in the TinyOS sensor operating system and
blueprint guidelines and patterns for designing
BSN security and privacy protocols.
