In recent events of the pandemic situation there is a heavy surge in the demand for health care applications for monitoring the vitals of the patients through real time monitoring of the human body. The major concerns which we face in Wireless Body Area Network WBAN sensors are security, data privacy, data integrity, confidentiality and dependability. Moreover it has issues such as standardization, energy efficiency, and quality of service. We are more concerned about the security of the data. The main purpose of WBAN sensors is to monitor the patients continuously without any assistance. The sensors are meant to be worn by the patients and the data has to be sent to the Healthcare applications which hold the backend system through a secured network. In this paper we are discussing the various security mechanisms and routing challenges which we are facing and the attacks which could occur over the network and also the summary of certain mechanisms which are present to overcome them. We have analysed the security for the different attack scenarios. This survey is to summarize the major difficulties which we face while designing a network in WBANs which is an emerging field of science in this pandemic situation.
