Through these devices, medical data is collected, processed in some way and transferred outside of the network. The IEEE 802.15.6 standard aims to govern communications between such devices. It includes a set of constraints for physical features and communication on the PHY and MAC level, as well as association/ disassociation protocols and security services that applications need to comply with. Given the high sensitivity of the medical data transmitted via MBANs, network security is crucial. This thesis consists of three main contributions: (a) a structured procedure to analyse the security features of the IEEE 802.15.6 standard by using realistic hypothetical scenarios is introduced (b) a thorough security analysis of the standard is conducted (c) recommendations on how to improve the security posture of the standard are given.
