Information technology acts an important role in gathering, transmitting with executing data from areas of disaster-prone such as the battlefield and international borders. In addition to the country’s security, the soldier needs protection by defending himself with advanced weapons such as a bomb detector. This paper provides the capability to track the whereabouts and health of soldiers who have been lost or injured on the battlefield. It assists in reducing the time, searching and rescuing operation efforts of the military control room. This paper implements a system for health-condition monitoring that sends soldiers’ health parameters, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), blood oxygen level, pulse rate, and temperature, to the control room via a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). Body parameters are sensed utilizing various body sensors fixed to the bodies of soldiers. The body parameters are broadcasted to the control room via MANET devices at the path. To preserve the health parameters data of soldiers from enemies while data transmission, this paper also proposes a cryptographic ensemble approach. This approach combines Symmetric Key Encryption, and Identity Based Encryption (IBE) with Identity Based Signature (IBS). The experimental result shows proposed cryptographic ensemble provides high security compared with existing MANET security algorithms.
