An Efficient Anonymous Authentication Scheme for Medical Services Based on Blockchain

EasyChair Preprint no. 6971

Abstract

Telemedicine is one of the most rapidly developing areas of health care in recent years. Telemedicine Information Systems (TMIS) enable physicians to provide remote care over the Internet to registered patients anywhere. In this work, we propose an efficient anonymous authentication scheme between patients and medical servers. We combine blockchain technology with biometric technology to form a shared session secret key to protect the privacy of patients through mutual authentication between patients and servers. Comprehensive comparative measurement shows that our proposed scheme achieves a better experimental performance in both computation and communication efficiencies.

Keyphrases: consortium blockchian, Mutual Authentication, privacy protection, Shared secret key
