A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), introduced into the healthcare sector to improve patient care and enhance the efficiency of medical services, also brings the risk of the leakage of patients' privacy. Therefore, maintaining the communication security of patients' data has never been more important. However, WBAN faces issues such as open medium channels, resource constraints, and lack of infrastructure, which makes the task of designing a secure and economical communication scheme suitable for WBAN particularly challenging.

Recently, contextual privacy issues associated with wireless communication in open spaces have not been thoroughly addressed and one of the most important challenges is protecting the source locations of the valuable packages. In this paper, we design an all-direction random routing algorithm (ARR) for source-location protecting against parasitic sensor networks.
