Abstract
In remote patient monitoring the wireless medical sensor networks WMSNs play a crucial role. In WMSNs, the sensor nodes are deployed in patient’s body for collecting physiological data. The patient’s physiological data are highly sensitive and important. Any malicious modification in physiological data will make wrong diagnoses and harm the patient health. Therefore, privacy, data security, and user authentication are extremely important for accessing patient’s real-time data over an insecure channel. In this regard, we design a secure and robust three-factor remote user authentication and key agreement scheme for remote patient monitoring. We simulate our protocol using AVISPA (Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications) tool, which asserts that the protocol is secure from the replay and man-in-the-middle attacks. The informal security verification proves that the suggested protocol is secure from various security threats. Performance comparison shows that the proposed scheme is efficient in terms of computation cost and communication cost.
