Diagnosing the patients remotely, controlling the medical equipment, and monitoring the quarantined patients are some of the necessary and frequent activities in COVID-19. Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) makes this works easy and feasible. Sharing information from patients and sensors associated with the patients to doctors is always an integral part of IoMT. Unauthorized access to such information may invite adversaries to disturb patients financially and mentally; furthermore, leaks in its confidentiality will lead to dangerous health concerns for patients. While ensuring authentication and confidentiality, We must focus on the constraints of IoMT, such as low energy consumption, deficient memory, and the dynamic nature of devices. Numerous protocols have been proposed for authentication in healthcare systems such as IoMT and telemedicine. However, many of these protocols were neither computationally efficient nor provided confidentiality, anonymity, and resistance against several attacks. In the proposed protocol, we have considered the most common scenario of IoMT and tried to overcome the limitations of existing works. Describing the system module and security analysis proves it is a panacea for COVID-19 and future pandemics.
对患者进行远程诊断、控制医疗设备以及监测隔离患者是新冠疫情期间一些必要且频繁的活动。医疗物联网（IoMT）使这些工作变得轻松可行。将患者及与患者相关的传感器信息共享给医生始终是医疗物联网的一个重要组成部分。未经授权访问此类信息可能会使对手在经济和精神上干扰患者；此外，其保密性的泄露将给患者带来危险的健康隐患。在确保认证和保密性的同时，我们必须关注医疗物联网的限制因素，如低能耗、内存不足以及设备的动态特性。已经针对诸如医疗物联网和远程医疗等医疗系统中的认证提出了许多协议。然而，这些协议中的许多既没有计算效率，也没有提供保密性、匿名性以及抵御多种攻击的能力。在所提出的协议中，我们考虑了医疗物联网最常见的场景，并试图克服现有工作的局限性。对系统模块和安全分析的描述证明它是应对新冠疫情及未来大流行的万灵药。
