Abstract
Telemedicine applications require exposing medical data over open networks, which leads to illegal exploitations. However, safety and confidentiality are required for medical images, because critical judgment is done on those images. Therefore, we propose in this paper, a medical images multiple watermarking scheme. Considering the high sensitivity of medical images, the watermark is embedded without modifying the original host image. Based on visual cryptography concept, difference expansion technique and dominant blocks extraction, this scheme achieves copyright protection by a robust watermark and image authentication by a fragile watermark. The experimental results show that the proposed method can withstand several image processing attacks, and can easily prove the integrity of the image.
