A three-factor mutual authentication scheme for telecare medical information system based on ECC
Abstract
In critical pandemic situations, the Telecare Medical Information System (TMIS) is a technological invention that offers secure and authentic patient registration and medical services remotely. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) uses TMIS to facilitate users/patients with remote medical services. Numerous schemes for authentication have been developed for secure and authentic communication to prevent security attacks encompassing replay, impersonation, and forgery attacks. Ryu et al. have proposed an ECC-based mutual authentication scheme in 2022. Nevertheless, through security scheme analysis, we have evidenced that Ryu et al.’s scheme has a trapdoor for insider attacks and privileged insider attacks. Their proposed scheme offers no assurance of server anonymity. In this paper, we propose a three-factor authentication system based on ECC that protects sensitive patient data from getting out during communication and protects against different types of security attacks. We have conducted an informal security analysis to verify that our scheme withstands security attacks.
