The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in various healthcare applications. Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is widely used as a leading identification technology in a variety of IoT-health applications. In 2020, the number of cases of novel Corona Virus Disease 2019 ( COVID-19) was increased rapidly throughout the world. Herein, IoT-Health enables the more convenient ways to access remotely and efficiently the medical services for the patients, also provides health monitoring by the doctors, physicians, and nurses over the Internet. However, security and privacy are considered key concerns in RFID-based IoT-health systems due to wireless communication over the channel. There could be huge risks of leakage of the patient's sensitive information, medical data, privacy of the patients, and so forth. To overcome these shortcomings, we have put forward a secure and reliable RFID authentication protocol using Digital Schnorr Cryptosystem for IoT-Health in COVID-19 patients care named S AP-DSC. Compared with the similar existing protocols, the security analysis followed by the performance evaluation of our proposed protocol demonstrates the minimal computation overheads and also provides resistance to various well-known security attacks. The AVISPA and Scyther simulation results confirm that the proposed protocol is safe under active and passive attacks. The overall analysis shows that the S AP-DSC is relatively superior to the other similar existing protocols.
物联网（IoT）在各种医疗保健应用中发挥着重要作用。射频识别（RFID）作为一种领先的识别技术，在各种物联网健康应用中被广泛使用。2020年，新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）病例数在全球迅速增加。在此，物联网健康为患者提供了更便捷的方式来远程高效地获取医疗服务，同时也使医生、内科医生和护士能够通过互联网进行健康监测。然而，由于通过信道进行无线通信，安全和隐私被认为是基于RFID的物联网健康系统中的关键问题。患者敏感信息、医疗数据、患者隐私等存在巨大的泄露风险。为了克服这些缺点，我们提出了一种用于COVID-19患者护理的物联网健康的、使用数字施诺尔密码系统的安全可靠的RFID认证协议，名为S AP-DSC。与现有的类似协议相比，我们提出的协议在进行安全分析后进行性能评估，结果表明其计算开销最小，并且还能抵御各种著名的安全攻击。AVISPA和Scyther仿真结果证实了所提出的协议在主动和被动攻击下都是安全的。总体分析表明，S AP-DSC相对优于其他现有的类似协议。
