Paper Abstract:
|
Medical industries have brought Information Technology in their systems for both patients and medical staffs with the numerous benefits of IT. The applications of pervasive healthcare services have high requirements for wireless and mobile networks, such as secure information exchange, reliable remote control, confidential data storage, effective mobility management rapid emergency response, and continuous monitoring of a patients medical conditions. Several vulnerabilities and security requirements related to the mobile device should be considered prior to the implementation of mobile services in the hospital environment, since the risks of mobile device are not different from those of personal computer. Due to the invisible feature of mobile signals, hackers have easier access to hospital networks than wired network systems. This leads to several security incidents unless security protocols are well implemented. In this paper, user authentication and authorization procedures will applied as a featured component at each level of the healthcare system architecture to build a trusted and secure M-health systems in the hospital environment. |
