Secured Fog-Body-Torrent : A Hybrid Symmetric Cryptography with Multi-layer Feed Forward Networks Tuned Chaotic Maps for Physiological Data Transmission in Fog-BAN Environment

Recently, the Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) have become a promising and practical option in the tele-care medicine information system that aids for the better clinical monitoring and diagnosis. The trend of using Internet of Things (IoT) has propelled the WBAN technology to new dimension in terms of its network characteristics and efficient data transmission. However, these networks demand the strong authentication protocol to enhance the confidentiality, integrity, recoverability and dependability against the emerging cyber-physical attacks owing to the exposure of the IoT ecosystem and the confidentiality of biometric data. Hence this study proposes the Fog based WBAN infrastructure which incorporates the hybrid symmetric cryptography schemes with the chaotic maps and feed forward networks to achieve the physiological data info security without consuming the characteristics of power hungry WBAN devices. In the proposed model, scroll chaotic maps are iterated to produce the high dynamic keys streams for the real time applications and feed-forward layers are leveraged to align the complex input-output associations of cipher data for subsequent mathematical tasks. The feed forward layers are constructed which relies on the principle of Adaptive Extreme Learning Machines (AELM) thereby increasing randomness in the cipher keys thereby increasing its defensive nature against the different cyber-physical attacks and ensuring the high secured encrypted-decrypted data communication between the users and fog nodes. The real time analysis is conducted during live scenarios. BAN-IoT test beds interfaced with the heterogeneous healthcare sensors and various security metrics are analysed and compared with the various residing cryptographic algorithms. Results demonstrates that the recommended methodology has exhibited the high randomness characteristics and low computational overhead compared with the other traditional BAN oriented cryptography protocol schemes
