- This paper looks at securing medical data that is remotely gathered, either through eHealth or mHealth techniques. The issues are not addressed in the current standards. This paper introduces a new security framework which uses Near Field Communication (NFC) and capabilities to secure the data by providing robust authentication and authorisation. This allows devices to be shared within households and communities. A simple prototype was demonstrated. The work is significant because it addresses the issue of security that needs to be resolved in order for eHealth and mHealth to become part of the national health provision in many countries.
