Abstract :
There are many advantages to deploying mobile devices in eHealth systems. However; security is still an issue: in particular authentication and user privacy. In this paper we propose a novel architecture that integrates 3GPP UMTS mobile technology with Web services. This will help address authentication and privacy concern within eHealth environment. The architecture makes use of the generic authentication architecture from the 3GPP and the single sign-on system to authenticate mobile users to a health authentication server to give access to various eHealth service providers. The platform for Privacy Preferences Project is thus used to manage privacy in the system
