Since the sensors collect personal medical data, secu- rity and privacy are important components in a body sensor network. At the same time, the collected data has to read- ily available in the event of an emergency. In this paper, we present IBE-Lite, a lightweight identity-based encryp- tion suitable for sensors, and developed protocols based on IBE-Lite for a BSN.
