“…In 2013, Wu et al proposed a novel mutual authentication protocol based on Hill cipher suitable for medical environments. Yet again, Picazo‐Sanchez et al showed that Wu et al may put the location privacy of tag owners on risk. These weaknesses are related to the use of a matrix multiplication based on Hill cipher, which is a known insecure cipher mechanism .…”

“…These weaknesses are related to the use of a matrix multiplication based on Hill cipher, which is a known insecure cipher mechanism . Thus, with the aim of establishing ISO standard and well‐known NIST security recommendations, Picazo‐Sanchez et al proposed two efficient RFID schemes conforming to ISO/IEC 9798 and 11770. In 2014, Srivastava et al proposed a hash‐based mutual RFID authentication protocol for medical sector that can resist from various active and passive attacks.…”

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology is used in a wide variety of applications, more recently as a leading identification technology in healthcare environments. In the most recent years, this technology has been adopted for telecare medicine information system (TMIS) for authentication, safety, security, data confidentiality, and patient's privacy protection over public networks. TMIS is the bridge between patients at home and doctors at healthcare organizations that permits to validate the correctness of exchanged information between different actors of the system. Recently, several RFID and smart cards authentication schemes have been presented and suggested for the TMIS in the literature. These schemes try to resolve the security and privacy problems over insecure healthcare network environments by exploiting different cryptographic primitive's solutions. In this paper, we first highlighted the vulnerabilities of the most recent proposed protocol for TMIS in the literature and proposed attacks based on the weaknesses related to the misuse of the timestamp technique, the calculation of the reader request and tag response messages using the one‐way hash function, which are not attentively scrutinized. Second, we propose an efficient dual RFID‐TMIS mobile authentication protocol with high efficiency and security for healthcare systems. Our proposal is an improvement and extension of the protocol of Li et al., where we propose to associate the RFID technology with TMIS in the same authentication system to take advantages of both these two promising technologies. The performance analysis shows that our improved protocol could solve security weaknesses of the studied protocol and provide mobility, efficiency and is well suited for TMIS adoption in remote areas and low population density.

“…This technology has been successfully used in such fields as agriculture, industry, transportation, and health care. 10 Radio-frequency identification technology has been used in the hospital environment in several ways. For example, in 2007, a study measuring the effectiveness of using RFID was carried out by Kannry et al in the Mount Sinai Medical Center.…”

The aim of this study was to systematically review all studies that evaluated the effects of using radio-frequency identification (RFID) for tracking patients in hospitals. Methods:The PubMed and Embase databases were searched (to August 2015) for relevant English language studies, and those that evaluated the effects of a real-time locating systems with RFID for patient tracking in hospitals were identified and extracted. Results:Of the 652 studies found, the 17 relevant studies were extracted for inclusion. Five of the extracted studies used RFID systems in operating theaters, two in emergency departments, one in a magnetic resonance imaging department, one in a radiology room, and the remaining eight studies were in other wards. In these studies, features such as the feasibility, accuracy, precision, reliability, security, level of satisfaction, cost of care, and time efficiency of the RFID systems were reported. Of all the extracted studies, seven evaluated the accuracy of the systems in crowded and unattended areas, and five of these were satisfied with their accuracy. Six evaluated the reliability of the systems, and all of these found the systems to be reliable. Six evaluated time-savings, and all of them reported the systems to be time effective. Two focused on the cost of care, and both of these reported the systems to be cost effective. Conclusions:Although most studies reported a positive impact on the accuracy and precision of patient identification, there is insufficient good evidence to show that RFID systems can accurately localize patients in crowded settings.

Medication errors are very dangerous even fatal since it could cause serious even fatal harm to patients. In order to reduce medication errors, automated patient medication systems using the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology have been used in many hospitals. The data transmitted in those medication systems is very important and sensitive. In the past decade, many security protocols have been proposed to ensure its secure transition attracted wide attention. Due to providing mutual authentication between the medication server and the tag, the RFID authentication protocol is considered as the most important security protocols in those systems. In this paper, we propose a RFID authentication protocol to enhance patient medication safety using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). The analysis shows the proposed protocol could overcome security weaknesses in previous protocols and has better performance. Therefore, the proposed protocol is very suitable for automated patient medication systems.
