Telecare Medical Information System (TMIS) can provide various telemedicine services to patients. However, information is communicated over an open channel. An attacker may intercept, replay, or modify this information. Therefore, many authentication schemes are proposed to provide secure communication for TMIS. Recently, Yu et al proposed a privacy-preserving authentication scheme in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)-enabled TMIS environments. They emphasize that their scheme is resistant to various attacks and ensures anonymity. Unfortunately, this paper demonstrates that Yu et al's scheme is vulnerable to impersonation attacks, replay attacks, and tracking attacks and cannot mutually authenticate. To overcome the shortcomings of Yu et al's scheme, we mainly improve the authentication and key agreement process and propose a corresponding improved scheme. We also compare the improved scheme with several existing authentication schemes in terms of security and computational efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
