Multi-Tier Model with JSON-RPC in Telemedicine Devices Authentication and Authorization Protocol

Abstract

Telemedicine is an efficient way of distributing health services. In the time of Covid-19 pandemic, telemedicine is one way to break the chain of spreading Covid-19. Telemedicine is a future health service model. Telemedicine implementation demands security guarantees, not only the safety of medical data but also the safety of medical devices connected to the telemedicine system. In previous research on Telemedicine, it was designed a medical device authentication and authorization system in a multi-tier telemedicine system, a system that securing the Telemedicine systems from uncalibrated, unauthorized, and unauthenticated medical devices. In the multi-tire communication system, JavaScript Object Notation Remote Procedure Call (JSON RPC) has become a standard that is widely used in multi-tier communication system. This study implements a medical device authentication and authorization system in a multi-tier telemedicine system, using JSON-RPC as a communication platform. This study performs security testing of service load resistance testing. The experimental results found that the implementation of JSON-RPC in the authentication and authorization system for medical devices in a multi-tier telemedicine system was able to produce a secure system with high service resistance to load.
