Abstract

The security and privacy in the access to mobile health applications are a challenge that any company or health organization has to take into consideration to develop reliable and robust applications. In this line, the facial authentication becomes a key piece to improve the access to users and that they do not lose their privacy of their data due to cyber-attacks or fraudulent users. The purpose of the current framework is to compare the two relevant facial-based mechanisms to select the most appropriate one for the authentication security in our under-development Framework for developing M-health APps (FAMAP).
