Secure Networking and Authentication Using Inter Human Body Communication

Summary

Researchers from Purdue University have developed interference-robust, reliable, human body communication (IR-HBC), an alternate, energy-efficient communication technique between on-body wearable devices by using the human body as a conducting medium. HBC is significantly more secure than WBAN as the information is contained within the human body and is not hackable unless the person is physically touched. This technology allows orders of magnitude better energy-efficiency given the body acts like a broadband channel, allowing low power NRZ signaling.
