With the fast progress of networking and the rising demand of online treatment, there is a need to provide a safe and secure treatment to patient from doctor via communication system. Telecare medical information system (TMIS) provides such facilities in network system. In TMIS, the authenticated doctor can provide online treatment to patient at anytime anywhere. The security and privacy are significant concern for medical information of the patient in healthcare system. For enhancement of security and privacy level, we propose an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) assisted authentication framework for cloud-medical system. The proposed protocol is secure against active and passive security attacks. Further, our protocol satisfies security attributes in communication channel. The proposed framework is efficient in computation and communication cost. As a result, the proposed framework can be more applicable in the cloud-based medical system.
