Due to the extensive development of Internet of Things (IoT) in e-healthcare environment, security and integrity of the medical data especially medical images became a big issue. This paper proposes a chaotic security architecture for ensuring the security of the medical images during transmission and storage. The proposed model is built by comprising of three main stages. At first, message digest 5 algorithm is applied to the plain image for generating the seed key of Lorenz chaotic map. Subsequently Lorenz map is iterated to generate the chaotic key series utilized for further process. In second stage, dual confusion such as row-by-row and column-by-column confusion is executed on the plain image. At last, dual diffusion process is performed by applying binary reverse and compliment operation, in addition to that XOR operation is executed between diffused image and Lorenz chaotic key image. Simulation results and analysis of security level by applying different attacks indicates that the developed cryptosystem has the potential of satisfying the security requirements of IoT healthcare applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
