Abstract
With the advancement of wearable devices and wireless body are networks, smart healthcare systems based on such technologies have been emerging to effectively monitor patient health and disease progression. In order to implement viable smart healthcare systems, the security and privacy of patient's personal health information must be considered. Yang et al. proposed a privacy-preserving authentication scheme using key-insulation technique for remote health monitoring system, however, key-insulation technique is not properly adapted to their scheme which in turn causes a security pitfall contrary to their assertions. Besides, Yang et al.'s scheme does not guarantee user anonymity against healthcare service provider. Therefore, in this paper, we discuss the security concerns for Yang et al.'s scheme and present an improved anonymous authentication scheme.
