Wearable smart rings, as compact and convenient devices for monitoring health, fitness, and personal data, are gaining widespread adoption. However, their use raises significant concerns regarding data security and user privacy. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the security and privacy risks associated with wearable smart rings, with a focus on three critical areas: data storage, data transmission, and user authentication. First, we examine how sensitive information is stored on devices and explore vulnerabilities that may expose data to unauthorized access. Second, we assess the security of data transmission protocols, highlighting risks in Bluetooth and other wireless communications that may lead to data interception. Finally, we analyze current user authentication mechanisms, evaluating their effectiveness against potential threats such as physical attacks and unauthorized device pairing. Our findings underscore the need for robust encryption standards, advanced authentication protocols, and comprehensive privacy policies to safeguard users of wearable smart rings. Recommendations are provided for manufacturers, regulators, and users to mitigate these risks and promote a secure wearable technology ecosystem.
