Abstract: TMIS has huge potential for enhancing health care delivery, it also creates certain issues with regards to accessibility, privacy, security and confidentiality of sensitive patient information. Son et al. 's (2020) proposal for a secure authentication mechanism for cloud-based TMIS differs from Amin and Biswas' (2015a) proposal for a TMIS architecture based on numerous physical servers. For gaining access to the medical servers, they have devised an authentication system. They have argued that their scheme removes all the shortcomings of earlier schemes. We, in this paper, will show that their architecture based on dedicated multiple physical servers has certain limitations. Such systems are usually either under-provisioned or over-provisioned and are quite expensive. In addition, Amin and Biswas (2015a) Mutual authentication and user anonymity are not provided by the scheme, and therefore is vulnerable to malicious assaults. In order to get over these restrictions, we suggest a unique design for the TMIS based on cloud based on OTP. We show that the performance of our suggested system is enhanced while simultaneously overcoming the drawbacks of Amin and Biswas (2015a) approach.
