Smart WBAN Authentication Dataset for Secure Communication in Healthcare Applications

This dataset was collected as part of an experimental study on <b>secure authentication and performance evaluation in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs)</b>. The research aimed to develop and analyze an efficient <b>PUF-based authentication protocol</b> for WBAN communication in healthcare applications.The experiments focused on:<b>Authentication Performance:</b> Evaluating authentication success rates, response times, and energy consumption.<b>Computational Overhead:</b> Measuring hash operations, PUF evaluations, and encryption costs for different authentication schemes.<b>Communication Overhead:</b> Analyzing message transmission time and size between WBAN nodes, fog nodes, and cloud servers.<b>Security Analysis:</b> Testing the system’s resistance to various attacks such as <b>Replay, Impersonation, and MITM attacks</b> and measuring detection time and false positive rates.
