Medical image encryption techniques: a technical survey and potential challenges

Among the most sensitive and important data in telemedicine systems are medical images. It is necessary to use a robust encryption method that is resistant to cryptographic assaults while transferring medical images over the internet. Confidentiality is the most crucial of the three security goals for protecting information systems, along with availability, integrity, and compliance. Encryption and watermarking of medical images address problems with confidentiality and integrity in telemedicine applications. The need to prioritize security issues in telemedicine applications makes the choice of a trustworthy and efficient strategy or framework all the more crucial. The paper examines various security issues and cutting-edge methods to secure medical images for use with telemedicine systems

Modified SHARK Cipher and Duffing Map-Based Cryptosystem

Recent years have seen a lot of interest in the study of chaotic structures and their accompanying cryptography frameworks. In this research, we came up with a new way to encrypt images that used the chaos and a modified block cipher named the SHARK cipher. The new algorithm looks at the creation of random sequences as a problem that needs to be solved in the best way possible, and then it uses the Duffing chaotic map to get even better random sequences. Chaos has been combined with a revised edition of the SHARK structure to make the algorithm design more robust with increased confusion and diffusion. The offered algorithm includes a complex encryption and decryption structure with minimal time consumption for secure data transmission. The proposed algorithm is verified with the encryption of some standard images of different sizes. Numerous analyses have been performed to see how well the algorithm works against a variety of assaults, and the outcomes show that the cryptosystem has a good level of robustness. The comparative results are also performed in this work, which guarantees the excellent performance of our cryptosystem. The system is also subjected to chosen-plaintext and chosen-ciphertext attacks which implies that it can resist many classical cryptographic attacks. Therefore, our cryptosystem is robust enough to use for image encryption
