“…However, this work fails to revoke the malicious end users from the medical network. Lara et al in [ 43 ] proposed a two-party authentication scheme based on elliptic cryptography. Though this method uses the lightweight authentication protocol, there is no efficient handover and revocation mechanism in this work.…”

The Internet of Health Things (IoHT) has emerged as an attractive networking paradigm in wireless communications, integrated devices and embedded system technologies. In the IoHT, real-time health data are collected through smart healthcare sensors and, in recent years, the IoHT has started to have an important role in the Internet of Things technology. Although the IoHT provides comfort in health monitoring, it also imposes security challenges in maintaining patient data confidentiality and privacy. To overcome such security issues, in this paper, a novel blockchain-based privacy-preserving authentication scheme is proposed as an approach for achieving efficient authentication of the patient without the involvement of a trusted entity. Moreover, a secure handover authentication mechanism that ensures avoiding the patient re-authentication in multi-doctor communication scenarios and revoking the possible malicious misbehavior of medical professionals in the IoHT communication with the patient is developed. The performance of the proposed authentication and handover scheme is analyzed concerning the existing state-of-the-art authentication schemes. The results of the performance analyses reveal that the proposed authentication scheme is resistant to different types of security attacks. Moreover, the results of analyses show that the proposed authentication scheme outperforms similar state-of-the-art authentication schemes in terms of having lower computational, communication and storage costs. Therefore, the novel authentication and handover scheme has proven practical applicability and represents a valuable contribution to improving the security of communication in IoHT networks.

The emergence of the E-health system has brought convenience to many chronically ill patients and elderly people with limited mobility. With the help of the E-health system, patients can upload their physiological data timely and get a diagnosis at home, which is more convenient and efficient as they do not have to line up in hospitals. In order to ensure this convenience while protecting patients’ privacy, many schemes have been proposed which can help patient and medical server authenticate each other. However, considering these patients’ inconvenience, sometimes family members need to participate in the patient’s treatment process. So, the E-health system needs to provide a secure communication platform for the family members. At present, most of the authentication schemes for the E-health system only focus on the secure communication between the patient and the medical server, while ignoring the participation of family members. Moreover, in the E-health system, the permissions of family members and patient should be different, and the medical server needs to distinguish their permissions efficiently. In order to overcome these problems, we propose a patient family binding and authentication privacy protection scheme for the E-health system. In the scheme proposed by us, the medical server can efficiently assign different permissions to the family member and patient. And our scheme can allow patient to authorize their family members freely, and the increase in the number of family members will not impose additional burden on the server. At the same time, the authentication between the family member and the medical server does not require the participation of the patient. In addition, by comparing with other related schemes, we prove that our scheme has suitable efficiency and security performance in the E-health system.

“…In this section, the performance analysis of the proposed CL-AKA scheme is discussed in comparison with existing competent schemes namely, [ 13 , 17 – 19 , 29 – 31 , 33 ], and [ 37 ]. This section demonstrates the comparision of the proposed scheme with respect to security features, computation cost, and communication cost with above mentioned seven related protocols.…”

“…Therefore, the scheme may not be adequate for resource-constrained environment. Later, Lara et al [ 33 ] proposed a two-party authentication scheme using self-certified public keys based on ECC for healthcare application. The scheme focus to establish communication between the patient’s portable personal terminal and an application provider (AP) with a Two-party scheme.…”

Wireless body area networks are gaining popularity due to their innovative applications such as timely analysis, remote monitoring of patients’ health, and high patient care quality. However, these healthcare systems that carry patient’s physiological data need special attention for the security and privacy of information. Due to the openness of transmitted data, the healthcare system gets prone to several adverse attacks. In this paper, a provably secure remote healthcare system is proposed based on the elliptic curve cryptosystem. The goal is to enable confidentiality and privacy of sensitive information by designing a certificateless authenticated key agreement protocol with low computational cost and higher security. The proposed scheme achieves anonymity, resistance to key escrow problems, mutual authentication between the sensor nodes attached to patients and the application provider. Furthermore, the protocol undergoes formal security analysis using the random oracle model, and the soundness of the proposed scheme is validated using ProVerif. Finally, the performance analysis depicts that the proposed scheme is efficient compared to existing methods.
