A transaction security accountability protocol for electronic health systems

الملخص EN

In the last two decades, the term “electronic health (e-health) systems” were extensively mentioned in the healthcare industry with the aim of replacing paper usage and increasing productivity.

Unfortunately, these systems are not still widely used by healthcare professionals and patients due to the concerns on security and accountability issues.

In this article, we propose an accountability transaction protocol to overcome all security issues for implementing electronic health systems.

To validate our proposed protocol, we used both Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) and Scyther as the tools to prove its soundness.
