Abstract

Health-care service in remote environment opens for several security challenges. These may affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of resource. Securing service is a big concern for this kind of application. Encoding is required before uploading data to remote web server. Identity management is another primary aspect to validate any service. One-time identity verification during login has no importance, because valid session may be hijacked by impostors. Compared to other techniques, identity management based on human computer interaction is simple and less costly in remote environment. Service verification also needs to be considered to control access rights along with end user verification. A secured remote service (SecReS) framework is proposed here to ensure availability of health-care resource to valid end users. This service is capable to reduce time complexity, bandwidth cost, and to increase accuracy and attack resistance capacity. Theoretical analysis shows its efficiency.
