Abstract:

Wearable health monitoring device based on wireless sensor networksgradually changes the traditional way of medical data monitoring, which brings the more advanced and convenient health data monitoring. However, privacy has become an issue of great concern in the transmission and distribution of monitoring data. Thus in this paper, we propose a novel privacy protection model which compromises anonymous algorithm and attribute based encryption schemes on the basis of previous studies.For cutting down LSSS matrix’s scale and exclude redundant attributes related to privacy, the rows associated with authorized attributes are firstly computed in LSSS matrix. After LSSS matrix is computed, we combine LSSS matrix with minimum authorized collection line search strategy to find minimum authorization attribute sets.Our experiment configures that the method proposed in this paper could stop redundant attributes to participate in encryption and decryption. At the same time,theefficiency of encryption and decryption are improved obviously. Privacy information is protected well without imposing any influence on final decryption.
