Description
Summary:The smart healthcare system advancements have introduced the Internet of Things, enabling technologies to improve the quality of medical services. The main idea of these healthcare systems is to provide data security, interaction between entities, efficient data transfer, and sustainability. However, privacy concerning patient information is a fundamental problem in smart healthcare systems. Many authentications and critical management protocols exist in the literature for healthcare systems, but ensuring security still needs to be improved. Even if security is achieved, it still requires fast communication and computations. In this paper, we have introduced a new secure privacy-enhanced fast authentication key management scheme that effectively applies to lightweight resource-constrained devices in healthcare systems to overcome the issue. The proposed framework is applicable for quick authentication, efficient key management between the entities, and minimising computation and communication overheads. We verified our proposed framework with formal and informal verification using BAN logic, Scyther simulation, and the Drozer tool. The simulation and tool verification shows that the proposed system is free from well-known attacks, reducing communication and computation costs compared to the existing healthcare systems.
