Abstract

With the development of technology, medical activities have gradually changed from traditional in-hospital diagnostic to telemedicine on the internet. These days, to accommodate security and efficiency in telemedicine, many authentication schemes were proposed for Telemedicine Medical Information Systems. Most of these authentication mechanisms usually rely on an online third party such that many schemes suffered from security vulnerabilities including limited bandwidth, impersonation attack, etc. For example, when the demand for authentication services suddenly increases, the third party bandwidth may overload so that the system broken and fails to serve correctly. Additionally, malicious legal insiders may easily obtain information of other participants, and then perform impersonation attacks. To prevent these weaknesses, this study develops a secure and efficient authentication scheme by using extended chaotic maps. The proposed scheme enables legal participants to directly authenticate and communicate each other without the help of an online trusted third party. It is also suitable for multi-server environment, and patients only register their identities to a center management server once. Then they can get services from all service providers in this system by using a registration ticket issued by the center management server. Accordingly, the limited bandwidth capability problems can be eliminated. Additionally, it has been shown that extended chaotic maps computations are more efficient than modular exponential computations or scalar multiplications on an elliptic curve. The proposed scheme not only provides more security properties, but also is more efficient than related schemes.
