Secure payment protocol for healthcare using USIM in ubiquitous

Abstract

The ubiquitous environment aims to provide user-friendly service, which is the potential area that creates new value by grafting in diverse Internet business models. Healthcare service, which deals with health and the quality of life, is one area that actively features the ubiquitous business models. This paper introduces remote-controlled hospital treatment services and payment protocols for ubiquitous Healthcare services. They make use of mobile terminals and USIM under different ubiquitous network environments. Through these new services, a more efficient treatment system will be studied and developed by connecting mobile terminals, USIM, and networks. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
