Abstract

RFID technology has indeed revolutionized telecare medical systems by offering advantages such as non-contact, wireless communication, and unique identification capabilities. These features enable seamless integration and rapid development of RFID-based solutions in telecare, leading to benefits like continuous service delivery, reduced monitoring costs, accurate data recording, preventive care, and enhanced quality of services. Considering the sensitivity of medical data, various authentication protocols have been proposed to ensure secure deployment in telecare systems. This paper highlights the shortcomings of a recently proposed RFID authentication protocol and introduces a new improved protocol that meets the necessary security requirements. Comparisons with the related secure RFID protocols show the overall superiority of the proposed protocol in terms of computational and communication complexity.
