Recently, the home healthcare system has emerged as one of the most useful technology for e-healthcare. Contrary to classical recording methods of patient's medical data, which are, based on paper documents, nowadays all this sensitive data can be managed and forwarded through digital systems. These make possible for both patients and healthcare workers to access medical data or receive remote medical treatment using wireless interfaces whenever and wherever. However, simplifying access to these sensitive and private data can directly put patient's health and life in danger. In this paper, we propose a secure and lightweight biometric-based remote patient authentication scheme using elliptic curve encryption through which two mobile healthcare system communication parties could authenticate each other in public mobile healthcare environments. The security and performance analysis demonstrate that our proposal achieves better security than other concurrent schemes, with lower storage, communication and computation costs.

In the recent years, we have observed the development of several connected and mobile devices intended for daily use. This development has come with many risks that might not be perceived by the users. These threats are compromising when an unauthorized entity has access to private big data generated through the user objects in the Internet of Things. In the literature, many solutions have been proposed in order to protect the big data, but the security remains a challenging issue. This work is carried out with the aim to provide a solution to the access control to the big data and securing the localization of their generator objects. The proposed models are based on Attribute Based Encryption, CHORD protocol and $μ$TESLA. Through simulations, we compare our solutions to concurrent protocols and we show its efficiency in terms of relevant criteria.
