Security System for Safe Transmission of Medical Images

This paper develops an optimised embedding of payload in medical images by using genetic optimisation. The goal is to preserve the region of interest from being distorted because of the watermark. By using this system there is no need to manually define the region of interest by experts as the system will apply the genetic optimisation to select the parts of image that can carry the watermark guaranteeing less distortion. The experimental results assure that genetic based optimisation is useful for performing steganography with less mean square error percentage

Randomized Symmetric Crypto Spatial Fusion Steganographic System

The image fusion steganographic system embeds encrypted messages in decomposed multimedia carriers using a pseudorandom generator but it fails to evaluate the contents of the cover image. This results in the secret data being embedded in smooth regions, which leads to visible distortion that affects the imperceptibility and confidentiality. To solve this issue, as well as to improve the quality and robustness of the system, the Randomized Symmetric Crypto Spatial Fusion Steganography System is proposed in this study. It comprises three-subsystem bitwise encryption, spatial fusion, and bitwise embedding. First, bitwise encryption encrypts the message using bitwise operation to improve the confidentiality. Then, spatial fusion decomposes and evaluates the region of embedding on the basis of sharp intensity and capacity. This restricts the visibility of distortion and provides a high embedding capacity. Finally, the bitwise embedding system embeds the encrypted message through differencing the pixels in the region by 1, checking even or odd options and not equal to zero constraints. This reduces the modification rate to avoid distortion. The proposed heuristic algorithm is implemented in the blue channel, to which the human visual system is less sensitive. It was tested using standard IST natural images with steganalysis algorithms and resulted in better quality, imperceptibility, embedding capacity and invulnerability to various attacks compared to other steganographic systems

Secure Communication Model for Dynamic Task Offloading in Multi-Cloud Environment

As the data is increasing day-by-day, the mobile device storage space is not sufficient to store the complete information and also the computation capacity also is a limited resource which is not sufficient for performing all the required computations. Hence, cloud computing technology is used to overcome these limitations of the mobile device. But security is the main concern in the cloud server. Hence, secure communication model for dynamic task offloading in multi-cloud environment is proposed in this paper. Cloudlet also is used in this model. Triple DES with 2 keys is used during the communication process between the mobile device and cloudlet. Triple DES with 3 keys is used by the cloudlet while offloading the data to cloud server. AES is used by the mobile device while offloading the data to the cloud server. Computation time, communication time, average running time, and energy consumed by the mobile device are the parameters which are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, SCM_DTO. The performance of the proposed system, SCM_DTO is compared with ECDH-SAHE and is proved to be performing better

Cardiovascular Disease Prediction Using ML and DL Approaches

Healthcare is very important aspects of human life. Cardiovascular disease, also known as the coronary artery disease, is one of the many deadly infections that kill people in India and around the world. Accurate predictions can prevent heart disease, but incorrect predictions can be fatal. Therefore, here this paper describes a method for predicting cardiovascular disease that makes use of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL). In this paper, SMOTE-ENN (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique Edited Nearest Neighbor) was used to equalize the distribution of training data. The K-Nearest Neighbor method (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting), Artificial Neutral Network (ANN), and Convolutional Neutral Network (CNN) are among the classifiers used in this paper. From Public Health Dataset required data is collected and focused on recognizing the best approach for predicting the disease in preliminary phase. This experiment end results show that the use of Artificial Neural Networks can be of much useful in prediction with better accuracy (95.7%) than compared to any other ML approaches
