Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a pioneer trend in healthcare technology. Since any cyber-attack on a WBAN could jeopardize the patient's health, securing the WBAN plays a crucial role in healthcare applications. An intrusion detection system (IDS), as a second-line defense, is one of the security methods in computer networks. In this paper, a new IDS has been presented which is able to detect denial of service (DoS) attacks in a WBAN. In the proposed IDS, a genetic algorithm is used to select features of collected data, in a way that increases the performance of the IDS and as a result the WBAN. Then, using support vector machine and k nearest neighbor techniques, the data classification is performed to detect DoS traffic from regular data traffic. Simulation results indicate that the proposed IDS has effective performance with a 90% detection rate.
