Security and Privacy are increasing concerns in nearly all industries. Recently, the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) has been expanded to reduce the cost and provide efficient healthcare services. Therefore, it is compulsory to ensure that EHR provides the desired levels of security and privacy. In this paper, we introduce a robust hybrid-security protocol in order to increase the level of privacy and reduce the communication cost between parties. It is a secure multifactor remote user protocol that allows the patient to securely exchange her medical information with her doctor over an insecure communication channel. It makes use of three-factor authentication technique in order to protect users’ identities (i.e. password, smart device, biometrics.) Biometrics are difficult to forge, steal, or forget. A simulation of the proposed protocol is carried out by the automated formal tool, AVISPA.
