A Dynamic Watermarking Model for Medical Image Authentication

Abstract

This paper proposes a dynamic watermarking model for the purpose of medical authentication. While transferring the data through a public network there is jittering or tampering of data. This is a matter of concern as any jitter or tampered data is not desirable in the medical field. It is noted that there is loss of life due to corrupted data received leading to wrong diagnosis. The proposed dynamic model proves that the medical image watermarked with the proposed system provides near lossless original image. Since the watermark is generated dynamically it is unique to the images considered therefore enhances the security of the images. The Proposed scheme is in the TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) using RGB colour space. The given watermark
