Wireless body area networks (WBAN) containing wearable sensing medical devices have enticed huge attention by providinghigh-qualitymedical services to people without restraint in their day-to-dayactivities. WBAN monitors elderly people or patientssuffering from any long-lastingdiseases from their place without being hospitalized, saving critical time transportation delaysand admission costs. Wireless medical devices are attached or implanted in the human body to sense medical-relateddata andfurther transmit it for medical services in an unsecured wireless medium. These sensing medical devices are miniature-sizedwith a limited battery source, so energy should be exploited carefully. The sensing devices deplete their energy more during datatransmission. Efficient energy exploitation and assuring data security and privacy in WBAN are highly recommended. Data tobe transmitted from the sensing device are compressed before transmission to reduce the number of data transmissions and saveenergy. In this paper, to attain efficient energy exploitation, Lightweight Fixed Binary Golomb (LFBG) data compression is performedat each sensor before transmission, and further to guarantee the privacy and security of the data, Lightweight SymmetricMutual Authentication (LSMA) protocol is implemented. The LFBG compression with the least computation saves up to 84% ofenergy, and LSMA with the least computation and transmission authenticates and also shares the session key securely.
