Abstract
Weak protection of patients’ data in medical institutions becomes a threat both for the medical institute or health care and patient. Different techniques are developing day by day to ensure the security and authentication of digital data in the medical field. Watermarking is one of the most widespread technologies to ensure the authentication of digital data and copyright protection of the user. In this paper, an algorithm has been proposed which is based on a joint watermarking and encryption technique to securely hide patient’s secret information. In the research, an initialization vector (IV) generation is proposed which is basically used to encrypt patient’s information using the advanced encryption standard (AES) technique in output feedback mode. The embedding of a watermark in the image is accomplished using a wavelet-based DWT technique and least significant bit (LSB) substitution. It has been found that the proposed algorithm is efficient and secured in many cases after observing different factors like imperceptibility, MSE, PSNR, and correlation.
