Managing secure authentication for standard mobile medical networks

IEEE recently announced the 11073 family of standards which govern the interoperability of mobile medical devices within the patient environment. However, the IEEE transferred the responsibility of implementing security solutions in future mobile health systems to the manufacturer. The paper proposes an enhancement to the ISO/IEEE 11073-20601 protocol with an identity management system based on biometric cancelable fingerprint measure. A novel method of generating biometric keys based on minutiae mapping from the feature space to local invariants calculated from the Voronoi polygons representation is also presented.
