A Selective Encryption Algorithm Based on AES for Medical Information

Abstract

ObjectivesThe transmission of medical information is currently a daily routine. Medical information needs efficient, robust and secure encryption modes, but cryptography is primarily a computationally intensive process. Towards this direction, we design a selective encryption scheme for critical data transmission.MethodsWe expand the advandced encrytion stanard (AES)-Rijndael with five criteria: the first is the compression of plain data, the second is the variable size of the block, the third is the selectable round, the fourth is the optimization of software implementation and the fifth is the selective function of the whole routine. We have tested our selective encryption scheme by C++ and it was compiled with Code::Blocks using a MinGW GCC compiler.ResultsThe experimental results showed that our selective encryption scheme achieves a faster execution speed of encryption/decryption. In future work, we intend to use resource optimization to enhance the round operations, such as SubByte/InvSubByte, by exploiting similarities between encryption and decryption.ConclusionsAs encryption schemes become more widely used, the concept of hardware and software co-design is also a growing new area of interest.

A New Approach to Partial Image Encryption

“…Ju-Young Oh, Dong-Il Yang, Ki-Hwan Chon [9], Proposed to expand the advanced encrytion standard (AES)-Rijndael with five criteria: the first is the compression of plain data, the second is the variable size of the block, the third is the selectable round, the fourth is the optimization of software implementation and the fifth is the selective function of the whole routine. Jay M. Joshi, Upena D. Dalal [10], proposed to gain a deep understanding of video data security on multimedia technologies and to provide security for real time video applications using selective encryption for H.264/AVC.…”

Encryption Algorithms for Color Images: A Brief Review of Recent Trends

“…8. Encryption scheme as illustrated in [22] Oh et al [23] proposed a selective encryption algorithm (SEA), which worked on similar lines to the Advanced Encryption standard (AES) algorithm. Like AES, the SEA algorithm also dealt with block cipher.…”

“…These shuffled shares were later combined to generate random shares, for instance in Figure 8 there are two random shares generated. Since majority of the operations in [22] were achieved by using logical operators like OR, XOR and the Mod operator, the computation cost incurred was very less and the implementation in [22] was written purely in java ( [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] [ [23][24][25][26] implementations were mainly in MATLAB). Since encryption schemes in [21] and [22] do not have keys involved, they do not have to bother about key management or brute force attacks.…”

“…[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] are papers that fall into the category of partial encryption algorithms. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] are further are divided into spatial domain [20][21][22][23][24] and frequency domain [25][26] based algorithms.…”

Secure Transmission of an Image using Partial Encryption based Algorithm

“…The aim of this proposal is to allow transparent encryption for applications requiring low-resolution preview. [12], proposed to expand the advandced encrytion standard (AES)-Rijndael with five criteria: the first is the compression of plain data, the second is the variable size of the block, the third is the selectable round, the fourth is the optimization of software implementation and the fifth is the selective function of the whole routine.
