Title
A User Authentication for Healthcare Application Using Wireless Medical Sensor Networks
Abstract
This paper presents a user authentication scheme for healthcare application using wireless medical sensor networks (WMSNs), where wireless medical sensors are used for patients monitoring. These medical sensors' sense the patient body data and transmit it to the professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, and surgeons). Since, the data of an individual are highly vulnerable, it must ensures that patients medical vital signs are secure, and are not exposed to an unauthorized person. In this regards, we propose a user1 authentication scheme for healthcare application using medical sensor networks. The proposed scheme includes: a novel two-factor professionals authentication (user authentication), where the healthcare professionals are authenticated before access the patient's body data; a secure session key is establish between the patient sensor node and the professional at the end of user authentication. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the proposed scheme is safeguard to various practical attacks and achieves efficiency at low computation cost.
