Health Informatics systems preserves the patient’s digital records. Two techniques that help in this process are watermarking and encryption. In this paper a reversible image watermarking scheme with logistic encryption is presented. The reversible watermarking is utilizing the concept of integer wavelet transform. The image is divided into sub bands and then the binary data is hidden in these sub bands. The watermarked wavelet sub bands are passed through logistic encryption module which scrambles the coefficients. These coefficients are then sent to inverse wavelet transform for image reconstruction. This process helps encrypt the image though spectral scrambling, thus resulting in faster and better encryption. The proposed algorithm outperforms the exiting algorithms in terms of execution time and the level of encryption.
