Body Sensor Networks have helped to achieve continuous remote monitoring of the physiological parameters of patients without the need for hospitalization. However the confidentiality and integrity of the medical data that is sensed, collected and transmitted to the remote hospital server has to be ensured in order to protect patient privacy. This paper proposes an end-to-end security mechanism for the At-Home architecture used for monitoring patients in the comforts of their home. Biometrics and cryptography are combined to provide data confidentiality and patient authentication.
