Abstract

Smart health applications are able to remotely monitor and evaluate the wellbeing of patients. However, these applications pose opportunities to violate security and privacy. The Heath Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) by the U. S. government regulate protection of security and privacy in medical data. We propose an approach to protect patient privacy and mitigate possible risks during both data acquisition and transmission. Our proposed authentication framework is based on a fuzzy vault scheme, fingerprint biometric technique, and zero knowledge authentication. Our protection has low overhead and is transparent and usable to patients who may not be technology-savvy.
