AbstractThe electronic medical record is the sets of individual patient health information stored in a digital format. This format can be shared across medical networks. This system enables the efficient transfer of medical records between institutions, patients and staff. The EMR contains personal health information; therefore, network access to patient-related data must be monitored and controlled to ensure that unlawful parties do not misuse personal information. Han et al. proposed several biometric-based authentication methods. However, Madhusudan et al. revealed that the biometric-based authentication method proposed by Han et al. had various weaknesses and proposed an authentication scheme with improved security suitable for the EMR system. In this paper, through a security analysis, we analyse the operation process of the scheme by Madhusudhan et al. and reveal problems, including H(B_i ) recognition errors, no perfect forward secrecy, insider attacks (user identification guessing attacks), insider attacks (forgery attacks) and denial-of-service attacks.Keywords: electronic medical record, security vulnerabilities analysis
