A secure biometrics-based authentication key exchange protocol for multi-server TMIS using ECC.

Background And Objectives: Telecare Medicine Information System (TMIS) enables physicians to efficiently and conveniently make certain diagnoses and medical treatment for patients over the insecure public Internet. To ensure patients securely access to medicinal services, many authentication schemes have been proposed. Although numerous cryptographic authentication schemes for TMIS have been proposed with the aim to ensure data security, user privacy and authentication, various forms of attacks make these schemes impractical.
