Secure two-factor mutual authentication scheme using shared image in medical healthcare environment

Abstract

The cloud healthcare system has become the essential online service during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this type of system, the authorized user may login to a distant server to acquire the service and resources they demand, we need full security procedures that cover criteria such as authentication, privacy, integrity, and availability. The journey of security for any healthcare system starts with the authentication of users based on their privileges. Traditional user authentication mechanisms, such as password and personal identification number (PIN) typing, are vulnerable to malicious attacks like on/offline, insider, replay, guessing, and shoulder surfing. To address these issues, we proposed a secure authentication scheme that uses the authenticated delegating mechanism based on two factors: a one-time password and generating a secure variable vector from a legible user's digital image to enable the permission of a user through the back-end database of a cloud server. The proposed mutual authentication can protect the information against well-known attacks, ensure the user's privacy, and key management. Moreover, comparisons with existing schemes show that the proposed scheme supplies more privacy, security metrics, and resistance to attacks than the others while being more efficient in computation and communication costs.

Authentication with privacy-preserving scheme for 5G-enabled vehicular networks

“…The data indicates that while the data transfer-based average rate is over 100 Mb/s, the data transmissionbased peak rate via 5G wireless networks can reach 20 Gb/s [24]- [27]. The supported network can provide a more steady connection and has 1000 times the capacity of current networks [28], [29]. But, this feature is coupled by worries about privacy, performance effectiveness, and security.…”

Enhancing healthcare services through cloud service: a systematic review

“…Based on cloud computing technology, cloud services centralize and virtualize computing resources, enabling users to access and use these resources over a network without having to own or maintain computing equipment and infrastructure [3]. Cloud services can also allow for flexible provisioning of computing resources and services based on user needs and usage, and a pay-as-you-go model that allows users to only pay for actual usage, reducing user costs and risks [4], [5]. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) are common service models in cloud services that can meet the needs of different users and application scenarios [6], [7].…”
