Abstract

Based on smart devices and wireless communication infrastructure, the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems become more and more popular in hospitals by reason of its convenient operation, remote access, data integrity, facilitated resources sharing, statistical analysis and many other advantages. When entering an EMR system, patients can be treated by many kinds of services and also leave their privacy to the providers. It is a viable method to protect a patient's privacy in EMR by anonymous authentication, where identity of the patient is verified without demonstrating the true identity to the authenticator. This paper proposes an enhanced secure anonymous authentication scheme, based on smart card and biometrics with key agreement. According to security analysis, our scheme is secure against many types of attacks, including those not prevented by previous work, such as the smart card loss attack and impersonation attack. The performance of our scheme is also analyzed and compared with previous work, which shows that our scheme is more efficient in the computation cost.
