Abstract

This paper proposes a secure and efficient anonymous authentication scheme for health information push service based on indoor location in hospital. The proposed scheme has the following benefits: (1)It is just based on a secure one-way hash function for avoiding complex computations for both health care operations users and health care centers. (2)It does not require sensitive verification table which may cause health care centers to become an attractive target for numerous attacks(e.g., insertion attacks and stolen-verifier attacks), (3)It provides higher security level (e.g., secure mutual authentication and key establishment, confidential communication, user's privacy, simple key management, and session key independence). As result, the proposed scheme is very suitable for various location-based medical information service environments using lightweight-device(e.g., smartphone) because of very low computation overload on the part of both health care operations users and health care centers.

본 논문에서는 병원 실내 위치기반 의료정보 푸쉬 서비스를 위한 안전하고 효율적인 익명 인증 스킴을 제안한다. 제안한 스킴은 다음과 같은 장점들을 가진다. (1)안전한 일방향 해쉬 함수(secure one-way hash function)를 사용하여 의료 서비스 사용자와 의료 관리센터 사이에 연산 복잡성을 최소화 하였다. (2)의료 관리센터 측에 삽입공격(insertion attacks) 및 훔친 검증자 공격(stolen-verifier attacks) 등 다양한 암호학적 공격들에 대한 대상이 될 수 있는 민감한 정보를 저장하는 검증 테이블(verification table)을 전혀 필요로 하지 않는다. (3)안전한 상호 인증과 키 설정(secure mutual authentication and key establishment), 기밀 통신(confidential communication), 사용자 프라이버시(user's privacy), 간단한 키 관리(simple key management), 세션 키 독립성 (session key independence)등을 보장하여 높은 보안 수준을 제공한다. 결론적으로 제안한 스킴은 병원 내 실내 위치기반 의료정보 푸쉬 서비스 환경에서 의료 서비스 사용자와 의료 관리센터 사이에서 아주 낮은 연산 오버헤드를 제공하기 때문에 스마트폰과 같은 경량 디바이스를 이용한 다양한 위치기반 의료정보 서비스 환경에 매우 실용적으로 활용될 수 있다.
