Fast Medical Image Security Using Color Channel Encryption

Abstract Evolution of digital Health-care Information System established Medical Image Security as the new contemporary research area. Most of the researchers used either image watermarking or image encryption to address medical image security. However, very few proposals focused on both issues. This paper has implemented a Fast Medial Image Security algorithm for color images that uses both watermarking and encryption of each color channel. The proposed method starts with embedding of a smoothened key image (K) and patient information over the original image (I) to generate a watermarked image (W). Then, each color channel of the watermarked image (W) is encrypted separately to produce an encrypted image (E) using the same smoothened key image (K). This image can be transmitted over the public network and the original image (I) can be achieved using decryption algorithm followed by de-watermarking using the same key image (K) at the receiver. Qualitative and quantitative results of the proposed method show good performance when compared with the existing method with high Mean, PSNR and Entropy.

Secure Deduplication for Cloud Storage Using Interactive Message-Locked Encryption with Convergent Encryption, To Reduce Storage Space

ABSTRACT The digital data stored in the cloud requires much space due to copy of the same data. It can be reduced by dedupilcation, eliminating the copy of the repeated data in the cloud provided services. Identifying common checkoff data both files storing them only once. Deduplication can yield cost savings by increasing the utility of a given amount of storage. Unfortunately, deduplication has many security problems so more than one encryption is required to authenticate data. We have developed a solution that provides both data security and space efficiency in server storage and distributed content checksum storage systems. Here we adopt a method called interactive Message-Locked Encryption with Convergent Encryption (iMLEwCE). In this iMLEwCE the data is encrypted firstly then the cipher text is again encrypted. Block-level deduplication is used to reduce the storage space. Encryption keys are generated in a consistent configuration of data dependency from the chunk data. The identical chunks will always encrypt to the same cipher text. The keys configuration cannot be deduced by the hacker from the encrypted chunk data. So the information is protected from cloud server. This paper focuses on reducing the storage space and providing security in online cloud deduplication.

A Selective Encryption Algorithm Based on AES for Medical Information / 대한의료정보학회지

OBJECTIVES: The 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. METHODS: We 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. RESULTS: The 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. CONCLUSIONS: As encryption schemes become more widely used, the concept of hardware and software co-design is also a growing new area of interest.

Privacy Act in Korea and Electronic Medical Record Protection / 대한의료정보학회지

With the emergence of networked computing and the Internet, this paper addresses the changed medical privacy environment, in which medical data protection now has to be reassessed. It is mainly based on the Korea situation as a country without an omnibus medical data protection law. It touches also on data security, as medical data privacy cannot be effectively protected without strict regimes for data security. The contemporary state of the medical records in Korea stood to gain from the growth of informatics and the spread of trans-institutions data flows. It is in this context that there appears to be a need to review the recent medical records protection acts which are already showing signs of this age both the public sector and private sector. Some recommendations will be adopted to establish baseline principles and goals and to provide guidance on the future work of the medical data privacy act. One of these, the protection of privacy on electronic medical records, recognizes the ubiquitous nature of digital computer and network technologies today. Medical information should be acquired, disclosed and used only in ways that respect an individual's privacy. It should not be improperly altered or destroyed. And medical information should be accurate, timely, complete and relevant to the purpose for which it is provided and used. And it upholds and protects medical data security. For example a right to encrypt personal information effectively, a right to fair treatment in key public infrastructures so that no person is unfairly excluded in a way that would prejudice that person's ability to protect their privacy, a right to human checking of adverse automated decisions and a right to understand such decisions, a right, going beyond the aspiration of the 'openness principle', of disclosure of the collections to which others will have access and which might affect the projection of the profile of the individual concerned.
