ABSTRACT = { Please WBANs are a sensor network for detection and collection of 
sensitive data to the human body, which is lightweight and mobile. WBANs 
transmit sensitive and significant messages through the public channel, which 
makes it easy for an attacker to eavesdrop and modify the messages, thus posing 
a severe threat to the security of the messages. Therefore, it is essential to put in 
place authentication and key agreement between different communication nodes 
in WBANs. In this paper, a lightweight and secure authenticated key agreement 
protocol in wireless body area networks is designed. It is capable to reduce the 
cost of sensor node computation while ensuring security. Besides, an informal 
security analysis is conducted to discuss the security of the protocol against wellknown attacks. Finally, the energy consumption of the protocol is evaluated, and 
the results show that the sensor nodes only need low storage cost, computational 
cost and communication cost.},
