Abstract

The telecare medicine information system (TMIS) allows patients and doctors to access medical services or medical information at remote sites. Therefore, it could bring us very big convenient. To safeguard patients’ privacy, authentication schemes for the TMIS attracted wide attention. Recently, Tan proposed an efficient biometrics-based authentication scheme for the TMIS and claimed their scheme could withstand various attacks. However, in this paper, we point out that Tan’s scheme is vulnerable to the Denial-of-Service attack. To enhance security, we also propose an improved scheme based on Tan’s work. Security and performance analysis shows our scheme not only could overcome weakness in Tan’s scheme but also has better performance.
