The telecare medicine information system (TMIS) allows patients and doctors to access medical services or medical information at remote sites. Therefore, it could bring us very big convenient. To safeguard patients' privacy, authentication schemes for the TMIS attracted wide attention. Recently, Tan proposed an efficient biometrics-based authentication scheme for the TMIS and claimed their scheme could withstand various attacks. However, in this paper, we point out that Tan's scheme is vulnerable to the Denial-of-Service attack. To enhance security, we also propose an improved scheme based on Tan's work. Security and performance analysis shows our scheme not only could overcome weakness in Tan's scheme but also has better performance.

Information security has become an inseparable aspect of the field of information technology as a result of advancements in the industry. Authentication is crucial when it comes to dealing with security. A user must be identified using biometrics based on certain physiological and behavioral markers.

Biometrics-based authentication has become the most well-established form of user recognition in systems that demand a certain level of security. For example, the most commonplace social activities stand out, such as access to the work environment or to one's own bank account. Among all biometrics, voice receives special attention due to factors such as ease of collection, the low cost of reading devices, and the high quantity of literature and software packages available for use.

Telecare Medicine Information System (TMIS) refers to a medical model that uses communication and information technology to realize multiple medical functions such as remote disease diagnosis, treatment, and health care. Because TMIS is carried out on an insecure public Internet, a large number of mutual authentication and key agreement protocols for TMIS have been proposed to protect the privacy of patients. Recently, Ostad-Sharif et al.

The article introduces a new type of an authentication technique denoted as memory-memory (M2). A core component of M2 is its ability to collect and populate a voice profile database and use it to perform the verification process. The method relies on a database that includes voice profiles in the form of audio recordings of individuals; the profiles are interconnected based on known relationships between people such that relationships can be used to determine which voice profiles to select to test a person's knowledge of the identity of the people in the recordings (e.

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.
