A New Secure Authenticated Key Agreement Scheme for Wireless (Mobile) Communication in an EHR System using Cryptography

Abstract

In the modern era where the cut throat competition is going on, the rapid growth of the internet and the revolutionary shift of traditional communication methods by the internet services or group communication methods becomes paramount important. The other side of the coin says that there is a growing demand for security runs parallel. It is a well known fact that mobile phone or mobile devices are the best equipment for communication whether we talk about developing or developed countries. So keeping the security and authentication problem of mobile devices in wireless communication the authors present a secure authenticated key agreement based on commitment scheme for the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system where the security is extremely important and infringement in security issues can create various legal issues.

Security in Mobile Network: Issues, Challenges and Solutions

“…Shukla et al [2] developed a novel key agreement and authentication protocol specifically for Electronic Health Record(HER) systems, which involve multiple types of users such as doctors, lab staff, patients, and insurance agencies, Authentication and proper key agreements are crucial for ensuring secure and reliable communication in such systems. The proposed protocol employs a commitment scheme that halts communication in case of authentication failure, making it highly effective in preventing Man-in-the-Middle attacks in wireless communications, Furthermore, the binding and hiding nature of the protocol adds an extra layer of security making it suitable for HER systems where data confidentiality and integrity are of utmost importance.…”

Literature Review of Mobile Security Enhancement

“…A new key concord and authentication procedure for Electronic Health Record systems was put into place [7]. Since the EHR system has a variety of users, including doctors, lab workers, patients, and insurance agencies, adequate key agreements and authentication are essential.…”
