• In this paper we analyze the security and privacy requirements of eHealth monitoring systems which use wireless sensor networks. Based on our experience developing our eHealth system, ReMoteCare, we have devised a model of such systems which we use to discuss threats and attacks, address security requirements and give guidelines for security mechanisms. The contentious issues of privacy of medical data are canvassed - especially as there are legal ramifications if personal health information is compromised.
