Secure user authentication scheme for the Virtual Doctor System enabled H-IoT through 5G Network: A comparison study

Abstract

In recent times, health-IoT and fifth generation technologies provide special health services for the patient including continuous and remote monitoring, besides other services. The combination of those previous concepts with virtual doctor system technology can offer several benefits such as remote and reliable diagnosis and treatment in real-time. Unfortunately, during the monitoring and diagnosis dialogue, illegitimate users can get unauthorized access to the VDS and disclose a valuable diagnosis, due to the lack of security and privacy of patients. To overcome this issue, some authentication schemes used in e-health applications over 5G networks will be presented. The aim of this paper is to choose a suitable authentication method for gaining access to remote VDS connected with the internet of medical things via the 5G network. So, the comparison between existing mechanisms will be done and the result will be announced after.
