Abstract

IoT platform creates attractive opportunities for our daily lives which make us smarter and more comfortable. IoT offers an incredible guarantee in the e-healthcare field by enhancing the quality of service with limited time-bound. The connectivity provided for e-healthcare devices poses overwhelming security and privacy concerns in this area. In this work, the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is employed between two entities to enhance security. The authentication is achieved using the Point multiplication operation, which provides more randomness. The three-factor authentication protocol for IoT based E-health devices is presented in this work. The architecture is coded using Verilog HDL, synthesized using Xilinx Synthesis Technology (XST) and ported in Zynq FPGA device (XC7Z020CLG484–1). The results show that the proposed three-factor mutual authentication protocol provides better security.
