AN ANALYSIS ON IMAGE ENCRYPTION FOR SECURED TRANSMISSION OF BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

Digital images are very popularly used for communications over the internet. Embedded information in the digital image has to be securely transmitted without any modification in the image. The biomedical telemedicine gains significant importance in information transmission and with increasing popularity with Tele-ophthalmology, requirement of medical data confidentiality and privacy also increases for data storage and secure transformation. The objective is to analyse the bioimage encryption algorithms which provides security and privacy to the bioimages. In this paper retinal fundus image online available dataset have used. The proposed work is analysed by considering, three performance parameters such as PSNR, MSE and CR. The two different encryption algorithms namely block-based perceptual encryption (BBPE) and advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm along with arithmetic compression have tested . The proposed work results tested on standard test images and retinal fundus images shows that the BBPE method attains PSNR of 27.58db , MSE of 3.20e+03 and CR of 4.27 for standard test images and 13.35db, 1.4046e+04 and 7.28 respectively for medical HRF images. The BBPE algorithm can be used in tele-ophthalmology and telemedicine applications.

A Perceptual Encryption Scheme for HEVC Video with Lossless Compression

Aiming to protect the video content and facilitate online video consumption, a perceptual encryption scheme is proposed for high efficiency video coding (HEVC) video. Based on RC4 algorithm, a key stream generation method is constructed, whose proportion of “1” and “0” can be regulated. During HEVC encoding, four kinds of syntax elements including motion vector difference (MVD)' sign, MVD's amplitude, sign of the luma residual coefficient and sign of the chroma residual coefficient, are encrypted by the regulated key stream. Experimental results and analysis show that the proposed scheme has good perceptual protection for the video content, and some advantages such as low computational cost, format-compliance and no bitrate increase can be achieved. It provides an effective resolution for the paid video-on-demand services.
