On Vulnerabilities of the Security Association in the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) support a variety of real-time health
monitoring and consumer electronics applications. The latest international
standard for WBAN is the IEEE 802.15.6. The security association in this
standard includes four elliptic curve-based key agreement protocols that are
used for generating a master key. In this paper, we challenge the security of
the IEEE 802.15.6 standard by showing vulnerabilities of those four protocols
to several attacks. We perform a security analysis on the protocols, and show
that they all have security problems, and are vulnerable to different attacks
