Abstract

Wireless sensor network provides services anytime and anywhere they are requested. Especially, medical sensor network based on biosensors is applied a lot to biotechnology and medical engineering. In medical sensor network, people can make their health checked at home free from temporal and spatial constraints. In ubiquitous healthcare environment, people can get instant help even in the emergency, and in hospital, patients can be taken care of efficiently. In this environment, health and life related data are delivered, and the privacy and security of personal data are very important. In this paper, we propose user authentication and data communication mechanism in two modes, normal and urgent situation using cellular phone. Through our proposal, data can be transferred in quick and secure manner.

무선 센서 네트워크는 언제, 어디에서든, 때와 장소를 가리지 않고 사용자가 원하는 서비스를 제공해주는 시스템이다. 특히, 바이오 센서를 이용한 의료센서네트워크는 생명공학, 의료공학 분야에서 활발하게 활용이 되고 있다. 의료센서네트워크에서는 사용자가 시간적이나 공간적 제약을 받지 않고 집에서 건강을 모니터링 할 수 있는 환경이다. U-healthcare환경에서 긴급 상황이 발생 했을 때 빠르게 환자를 도와줄 수 있으며, 병원에서도 손쉽게 환자를 관리 할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 이 환경에서는 개인의 건강과 생명에 직결된 데이터가 송수신되므로 개인의 프라이버시 보장과 데이터의 보안이 가장 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 휴대폰을 이용한 사용자 인증 방안과 데이터의 종류에 따라 긴급모드와 일반모드의 구분을 두어 안전하면서도 빠르게 데이터를 전송하는 방안을 제안하였다.
