Abstract
IT technology of U-healthcare system is being grafted onto medical services and the use of U-healthcare system are extending steadily. However, in case of patients using Implantable Medical Device (IMD) in U-healthcare system, patients' privacy protection and safe access to system recently has emerged as a major issue. This paper proposes a patients' privacy protection protocol to prevent any illegal accesses from third parties as state value and action value are synchronized after patients' information virtualization. The proposed protocol can limit the access range of patients' information according to authentication information of hospitals, doctors, nurses, and pharmacies registered in the U-healthcare server. Additionally, this protocol can increase management efficiency for patients' privacy by synchronizing state values and action values only for approved information and, by instituting this process, third parties cannot easily access patients' information.
