A Smart Card-Based Two-Factor Mutual Authentication Scheme for Efficient Deployment of an IoT-Based Telecare Medical Information System

Abstract

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the telecare medical information system (TMIS) enables patients to receive timely and convenient healthcare services regardless of their location or time zone. Since the Internet serves as the key hub for connection and data sharing, its open nature presents security and privacy concerns and should be considered when integrating this technology into the current global healthcare system. Cybercriminals target the TMIS because it holds a lot of sensitive patient data, including medical records, personal information, and financial information. As a result, when developing a trustworthy TMIS, strict security procedures are required to deal with these concerns. Several researchers have proposed smart card-based mutual authentication methods to prevent such security attacks, indicating that this will be the preferred method for TMIS security with the IoT. In the existing literature, such methods are typically developed using computationally expensive procedures, such as bilinear pairing, elliptic curve operations, etc., which are unsuitable for biomedical devices with limited resources. Using the concept of hyperelliptic curve cryptography (HECC), we propose a new solution: a smart card-based two-factor mutual authentication scheme. In this new scheme, HECC’s finest properties, such as compact parameters and key sizes, are utilized to enhance the real-time performance of an IoT-based TMIS system. The results of a security analysis indicate that the newly contributed scheme is resistant to a wide variety of cryptographic attacks. A comparison of computation and communication costs demonstrates that the proposed scheme is more cost-effective than existing schemes.

Design of Secure and Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing Scheme Based on Key Aggregation and Private Set Intersection in Medical Information System

“…Despite the numerous advantages of medical data sharing, significant concerns remain, particularly in the realms of security and privacy. The sensitive nature of medical information means that without adequate protection, there is a substantial risk of severe privacy violations and data breaches [3][4][5]. Unauthorized access or the theft of medical data can not only infringe upon privacy rights but also undermine trust in the entire medical information system.…”

Applications for ordering food: The specifics of choice for installation on computers and laptops

“…New technologies developed and developed in recent years allow people to reduce their time spent on traditional activities such as transportation, communications, training, work, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], while nutrition is also one of the activities for which a modern person still spends a lot of time. In this regard, the comparison and selection of the optimal application that allows you to minimize the time spent by a person on food delivery is becoming increasingly important in the modern world.…”
