In this chapter, we focus on security for BANs. In particular, we present a new paradigm that uses environment coupling – a property inherent to BANs – for this purpose. However, before we delve into the details, we provide some general concepts and definitions pertaining to the notion of security, which we use throughout this chapter. Though the notion of security has many connotations, for the purposes of this book, we define it in the information-security context, as preventing unauthorized entities from viewing, accessing, or modifying data generated within a system. We use the term system in a generic sense to mean a computing system that takes an input, processes it, and provides an output.
