Abstract
Due to the high maternal mortality, it is particularly necessary to attend pregnant woman by emergency communication system as timely treatment to avoid maternal deaths. In this paper, we propose an emergency communication system based on cloud computing and mobile devices for a pregnant woman to have a more efficiently and timely treatment. Moreover, security is the utmost important issue. The proposed scheme integrates proxy authorization of the Schnorr’s signature, symmetric encryption technology, a message authentication code, and RFC 2631 to protect the communication messages and the pregnant woman’s privacy not been revealed or stolen.
