A Smartcard-Based User-Controlled Single Sign-On for Privacy Preservation in 5G-IoT Telemedicine Systems

Area of Science:

• Health Informatics
• Cybersecurity
• Authentication Systems

Background:

• Rising health consciousness necessitates immediate access to user health data.
• Telemedicine systems offer remote medical services but face privacy challenges due to public network usage.
• Secure authentication is crucial for protecting sensitive patient information in telemedicine.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a novel smartcard-based user-controlled single sign-on (SC-UCSSO) scheme for telemedicine systems.
• To enhance privacy preservation, security, and performance in telemedicine authentication.
• To provide a secure and efficient method for patients to access multiple telemedicine services.

Main Methods:

• Development of a smartcard-based user-controlled single sign-on (SC-UCSSO) authentication scheme.
• Security analysis using BAN logic and Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA).
• Performance evaluation compared to existing authentication schemes.

Main Results:

• The proposed SC-UCSSO scheme effectively establishes secure communication channels.
• It prevents eavesdropping and impersonation threats in telemedicine environments.
• Demonstrated enhanced security and performance over previous authentication methods.

Conclusions:

• The SC-UCSSO scheme offers a robust solution for secure and private access to telemedicine services.
• It addresses critical privacy preservation and security concerns in remote healthcare.
• The proposed system improves user authentication efficiency and reliability in telemedicine.
