Abstract

Advancements in computer and communication technology enabled the rapid growth of e-health services, which can nowadays provide various electronic methods (e.g., obtaining online consent, exchanging health data). In this context, user authentication is an essential security task within modern healthcare systems performed daily by millions of patients across the globe. Nevertheless, most e-health service providers often employ traditional text-based password solutions which result in increased cognitive load and often lead to poor usability and security. In this paper, we present the design and development of a patient-centric user authentication system, which offers a flexible, personalized and multi-factor user authentication solution to patients. The suggested solution is currently being implemented and evaluated within the EU Serums project - Securing Medical Data in Smart Patient-Centric Healthcare Systems, which is a research project supported by the European Commission (EC) under the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme (H2020).
