N2 - Healthcare applications require special attention regarding security issues since healthcare is associated with mission critical services that are connected with the well being of life. Security raises special considerations when mobility is introduced in the healthcare environment. This research work proposes a security framework for mobile healthcare systems based on information classification into security levels. By categorizing the information used in mobile healthcare systems and linking it with the security objectives and security technologies, we aim in balancing the trade-off between security complexity and performance. Furthermore, this paper discusses a number of issues that are raised in the healthcare environment: privacy, confidentiality, integrity, legal and ethical considerations.
