How does ZigBee address security for confidential medical data given that information is literally flying through the air?
ZigBee was developed with many layers of security. At the strongest level, ZigBee uses AES 128 encryption (government, commercial and military grade encryption used across the Internet). In addition, ZigBee defines a security toolbox for key generation and distribution that can support multiple modes for residential, commercial, and even industrial applications. The ZigBee Health Care public application profile has specific security features for rapid key generation and distribution suitable in the medical environments insuring privacy and integrity. No other solution offers a comparable security system.
