Abstract.Recently, Amin and Biswas proposed a novel authentication protocol for TMIS. They claimed that their protocol provides security protection on the attacks proposed by them. Even though Amin and Biswas's protocol achieves efficiency, we demonstrate that their protocol is insecure against many attacks. To overcome the defects in Amin and Biswas's protocol, we proposed an improved user authentication scheme in TMIS. The security analysis shows that the proposed protocol remedies the weaknesses in Amin and Biswas's protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
