A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a wireless network
made up of a collection of microscopic biomedical nodes that
are dispersed around the human body's surface, inside the body,
in the clothes or next to it. WBAN, also known as Wireless
Body Sensor Network (WBSN), is a specific kind of Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSNs) that is defined in IEEE 802.15.6
(IEEE, 2012). With a wide range of data transmission speed to
suit various application types, IEEE 802.15.6 offers dependable
communications across short distances. The incredibly low
power sensor nodes can track the body's critical physiological
indicators, and some of them may even administer a dose of
medication directly into the body. A distant server or a sink
node will receive real-time readings of the body's bio-signals
from wearable devices and Implantable Medical Devices
(IMDs). Depending on the kind of node, the monitored signals

Design Project Attestation for IoT devices of IoT devices. nil
Remote attestation protocols have recently gained wide
attention in IoT systems
as valuable security mechanisms that detect the adversarial
presence and guarantee
the legitimate state of IoT devices. Various attestation schemes
have been proposed
to optimize the effectiveness and efficiency of remote attestation
protocols of a single
IoT device or a group of IoT devices. Nevertheless, some cyber
attacks remain
undetected by current attestation methods, and attestation
protocols still introduce
non-negligible computational overheads for resource-
constrained devices.
Due to the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the
exponential growth of data produced by end-point devices has
prompted the implementation of data outsourcing to specialized
data centers. Cloud storage and other centralized data centers
are incapable of affordably managing large data repositories in
an expeditious fashion. In order to facilitate access to
humongous data with minimal latency, a novel computing
paradigm known as fog computing has been implemented. Due
to the intricate nature of the system's inner workings, privacy

In this era of the digital world, everything from manufacturing
floors in the industry to smart cities, energy grids, healthcare
facilities, transportation systems, and homes is connected to the
Internet. The new IoT applications are enabling smart city
initiatives worldwide, including in India. It provides the ability
to remotely monitor, manage and control devices, and to create
new insights and actionable information from massive streams
of real-time data. The IEEE 802.15.4 is one such technology
that facilitates low-power communication among constrained
IoT devices. However, specific gaps in the standard prevent
easy deployment of the IEEE 802.15.4 network, and only some
issues are left for the implementer to address. Alternatively, the
