      ab: The use of wireless sensor networks for wearable computing in health care is growing quickly. Numerous applications are already in use, such as blood pressure monitors and heart rate monitors. As such, it is very important for system designers to consider how to protect patient privacy, especially in wireless sensor networks. After studying and analyzing the features of wireless sensor networks in medical systems, a data division scheme was proposed in this paper, provided the advantages of homomorphic encryption. In the proposed scheme, even if a forwarding node is compromised, the attacker will not be able to eavesdrop on the data, resulting in much stronger privacy than existing schemes. Experimental results shows that the scheme provides a good trade off in resources consumed and system security, and is efficient for encrypting or decrypting sensitive medical data.
