Aes Encryption Algorithm

We propose a novel method for medical image watermarking in the DCT domain using the AES encryption algorithm. First, we decompose the original medical image into subblocks of 8 × 8. Besides, we apply the DCT and the quantization, respectively, to each subblock. However, in the DCT domain, an adequate choice of the DCT coefficients according to the quantization table in the middle frequencies band is performed. After that, we embed the patient’s data into the corresponding medical image. The insertion step is carried out just after the quantization phase. To increase the robustness, we encrypt the watermarked medical images by using the AES algorithm based on chaotic technique. Arnold’s cat map is used to shuffle the pixel values, and a chaotic Henon map is utilized to generate an aleatory sequence for the AES algorithm. The shuffled watermarked image is encrypted using the modified AES algorithm. The constant of Weber is used to choose the suitable visibility factor for embedding a watermark with high robustness. To control identification, after application of attacks, we use the serial turbo code for correction of the watermark to recover the data inserted. The average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the medical images obtained is 61,7769 dB. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed schema against various types of attacks.

Clear Information

In order to get clear information regarding patient it is necessary to enhance medical images like MRI, CT scan, ultrasound etc.  For clinical diagnosis, we have to transmit it through the communication network. During this process information must be protected from malicious users. In this process these images are manipulated, so to protect these images we have to follow some security requirements. In this paper, we are increasing the quality of the image by using enhancement with clahe technique and that enhanced image is watermarked for security purpose by using DWT, SVD transforms with a scaling factor as uniform distribution function. The performance evaluation parameters will give better results for medical as well as under water images. The obtained results are very helpful for integrity of medical images. The technique will provide better response for medical images. This method will give good results in terms of improvement in output, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE).

Abstract A reliable medical image management must provide proper security for patient information. Protecting the medical information of the patients is a major concern in all hospitals. Digital watermarking is a procedure prevalently used to secure the confidentiality of medical information and maintain them, which upgrades patient health awareness. To protect the medical information, the robust and lossless patient medical information sharing system using crypto-watermarking method is proposed. The proposed system consists of two phases: (i) embedding and (ii) extraction. In this paper, we securely share three types of patient information, medical image, electronic health record (EHR), and face image from one hospital to another hospital. Initially, all the three inputs are encrypted and the information is concordant. In order to enhance the robustness of the crypto-watermarking system, the obtained bit stream is compressed, and the compressed bit streams are embedded into the cover image. The same process is repeated for the extraction process. The experimentation result is carried out using different medical images with EHR, and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is analyzed with the help of peak signal to noise ratio.

Hybrid Watermarking

A hybrid watermarking technique using wavelet and Shearlet transform is proposed in this paper. The DWT variant Daub4 transform model is applied on the medical image to generate different frequency sub-bands. The HL and LH sub-bands which are resistant to compression attacks are chosen for second level of transformation, a DST variant 'Cone adaptive Shearlet transform' technique is used to calculate the Shearlet coefficients of the selected sub-bands. By using SVD on the Shearlet coefficients, the singular values of watermark image are embedded into the singular values of the host image. The proposed approach is examined using three medical images and a watermark image. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is robust against JPEG compression, Geometric and Noise attacks.

In the medical world, a digital medical image is a requirement for image sharing in which the confidential data of the patient should be protected from unauthorized access. This study proposes a technique that can preserve image confidentiality using image encryption. This approach converts the original image into another shape that can not be visually interpreted, so unauthorized parties can not see an image's substance. This research proposes a method of X-Ray images encryption based on Arnold's Cat Map and Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem by shuffling coordinates from the original pixel into new coordinates. The Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem encoding scheme strengthens Arnold's cat map encryption by detecting and fixing bits of an image pixel value error. This study comprises results checked by giving the X-Ray or rontgen image noise with distinct variances. These algorithms are supposed to provide decrypted images with high accuracy and are more resistant to attack. Our result showed that the system using Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem codes has a better Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio result equal to infinity and Bit Error Rate, equivalent to 0 at a more significant variance of each form of noise than the process using Arnold's Cat Map codes only. The Brute Force Attack for Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem takes 2.86 × 1058 years, while Arnold's Cat Map takes 3.9 × 1011 years, so the Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem code is more resistant to Brute Force Attack than the Arnold's Cat Map method.

he proposed paper work is implemented using Stationary Wavelet Transformation (SWT) with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD).Even though, there are many other transformations, the Stationary Wavelet Transformation method is chosen for its shift invariance property. The designed method has three steps; the first step is the decomposing of the Medical image into sub-bands using SWT to find the value of sub band and as a second step is to apply SVD, third step will combine both the images with scaling factor. The experiments were conducted over gray scale of MRI and CT Medical images. The statistics of proposed method indicates that imperceptibility of Watermarked Medical images have a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of 50 DB for medical images. The robustness is ensured by having Correlation Coefficient (CC) of 1 for the retrieved watermark images. Security for the watermark is extended by encrypting the watermark with chaotic sequence.

In this article, a blind and robust medical image watermarking technique based on Finite Ridgelet Transform (FRT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed. A host medical image is first transformed into 16 × 16 non-overlapping blocks and then ridgelet transform is applied on the individual blocks to obtain sets of ridgelet coefficients. SVD is then applied on these sets, to obtain the corresponding U, S and V matrix. The watermark information is embedded into the host medical image by modification of the value of the significant elements of U matrix. This proposed technique is tested on various types of medical images such as X-ray and CT scan. The simulation results revealed that this technique provides better imperceptibility, with an average PSNR being 42.95 dB for all test medical images. This technique also overcomes the limitation of the existing technique which is applicable on only the Region of Interest (ROI) of the medical image.

Medical Image Watermarking

In telemedicine, medical data are shared across the world among different specialists for various purposes through an unsecured medium. So there is a need to protect the medical data during transmission. With the help of image watermarking techniques, medical images are protected along with the electronic patient information (EPI). This paper proposes a medical image watermarking, by applying wavelet transform, using an interpolation technique. EPI data is embedded within the transformed medical image to generate a watermarked image. At the extraction side, EPI data are extracted and medical image is reconstructed without any loss. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed using a peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean absolute error (MAE) and structural similarity index (SSIM).   The experimental result shows that the proposed method gives better results.

In telemedicine while transferring medical images tampers may be introduced. Before making any diagnostic decisions, the integrity of region of interest (ROI) of the received medical image must be verified to avoid misdiagnosis. In this paper, we propose a novel fragile block based medical image watermarking technique to avoid embedding distortion inside ROI, verify integrity of ROI, detect accurately the tampered blocks inside ROI, and recover the original ROI with zero loss. In this proposed method, the medical image is segmented into three sets of pixels: ROI pixels, region of noninterest (RONI) pixels, and border pixels. Then, authentication data and information of ROI are embedded in border pixels. Recovery data of ROI is embedded into RONI. Results of experiments conducted on a number of medical images reveal that the proposed method produces high quality watermarked medical images, identifies the presence of tampers inside ROI with 100% accuracy, and recovers the original ROI without any loss.
