Securing medical images is a great challenge to protect medical privacy. An image encryption model founded on a complex chaos-based Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG) and Modified Advanced Encryption Standard (MAES) is put forward in this paper. Our work consists of the following three main points. First, we propose the use of a complex PRNG based on two different chaotic systems which are the 2D Logistic map in a complex set and Henon’s system in the key generation procedure. Second, in the MAES 128 bits, the subbytes’ operation is performed using four different S-boxes for more complexity. Third, both shift-rows’ and mix-columns’ transformations are eliminated and replaced with a random permutation method which increases the complexity. More importantly, only four rounds of encryption are performed in a loop that reduces significantly the execution time. The overall system is implemented on the Altera Cyclone III board, which is completed with an SD card interface for medical image storage and a VGA interface for image display. The HPS software runs on μClinux and is used to control the FPGA encryption-decryption algorithm and image transmission. Experimental findings prove that the propounded map used has a keyspace sufficiently large and the proposed image encryption algorithm augments the entropy of the ciphered image compared to the AES standard and reduces the complexity time by 97%. The power consumption of the system is 136.87 mw and the throughput is 1.34 Gbit/s. The proposed technique is compared to recent image cryptosystems including hardware performances and different security analysis properties, such as randomness, sensitivity, and correlation of the encrypted images and results prove that our cryptographic algorithm is faster, more efficient, and can resist any kind of attacks.

The healthcare industry has been facing a lot of challenges in securing electronic health records (EHR). Medical images have found a noteworthy position for diagnosis leading to therapeutic requirements. Millions of medical images of various modalities are generally safeguarded through software-based encryption. DICOM format is a widely used medical image type. In this chapter, DICOM image encryption implemented on cyclone FPGA and ARM microcontroller platforms is discussed. The methodology includes logistic map, DNA coding, and LFSR towards a balanced confusion – diffusion processes for encrypting 8-bit depth 256 × 256 resolution of DICOM images. For FPGA realization of this algorithm, the concurrency feature has been utilized by simultaneous processing of 128 × 128 pixel blocks which yielded a throughput of 79.4375 Mbps. Noticeably, the ARM controller which replicated this approach through sequential embedded “C” code took 1248 bytes in flash code memory and Cyclone IV FPGA consumed 21,870 logic elements for implementing the proposed encryption scheme with 50 MHz operating clock.

Given that the sequences generated by logistic map are unsecure with a number of weaknesses, including its relatively small key space, uneven distribution, and vulnerability to attack by phase space reconstruction, this paper proposes a new two-dimensional mutual coupled logistic map, which can overcome these weaknesses. Our two-dimensional chaotic map model is simpler than the recently proposed three-dimensional coupled logistic map, whereas the sequence generated by our system is more complex. Furthermore, a new kind of pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) based on the mutual coupled logistic maps is proposed for application. Both statistical tests and security analysis show that our proposed PRNG has good randomness and that it can resist all kinds of attacks. The algorithm speed analysis indicates that PRNG is valuable to practical applications.

In recent years, chaos-based image encryption technologies have been widely studied to meet the increasing demand for real-time secure image transmission applications. To overcome the drawbacks of small key space and weak security in many existing schemes based on low-dimensional chaotic maps, this paper suggests a security improved scheme with a permutation-diffusion architecture. In the permutation stage, baker map is employed to shuffle the pixel positions. In the diffusion stage, the value of each pixel is altered by using a key stream derived from hyperchaotic system. Compared with ordinary chaotic systems, hyperchaotic systems, with more complex dynamical behaviors and number of system variables, offer greater potential for secure cryptosystem construction. Extensive security analysis has been performed on the proposed scheme, including the most important ones like key space analysis, statistical analysis and key sensitivity, which has demonstrated the satisfactory security of the proposed scheme.

Current image encryption methods have many shortcomings for the medical image encryption with high resolution, strong correlation and large storage space, and it is difficult to obtain reliable clinically applicable medical images. Therefore, this paper proposes a medical image encryption algorithm based on a new five-dimensional three-leaf chaotic system and genetic operation. And the dynamic analysis of the phase diagram and bifurcation diagram of the five-dimensional three-leaf chaotic system selected in this paper is carried out, and NIST is used to test the randomness of its chaotic sequence. This algorithm follows the diffusion-scrambling framework, especially using the principle of DNA recombination combined with the five-dimensional three-leaf chaotic system to generate a chaotic matrix that participates in the operation. The bit-level DNA mutation operation is introduced in the diffusion, and the scrambling and diffusion effects have been further improved. Algorithm security and randomness have been enhanced. This paper evaluates the efficiency of this algorithm for medical image encryption in terms of security analysis and time performance. Security analysis is carried out from key space, information entropy, histogram, similarity between decrypted image and original image, PSNR, correlation, sensitivity, noise attack, cropping attack and so on. Perform time efficiency analysis from the perspective of time performance. The comparison between this algorithm and the experimental results obtained by some of the latest medical image encryption algorithms shows that this algorithm is superior to the existing medical image encryption algorithms to a certain extent in terms of security and time efficiency.

Low-dimensional chaotic mappings are simple functions that have low computation cost and are easy to realize, but applying them in a cryptographic algorithm will lead to security vulnerabilities. To overcome this shortcoming, this paper proposes the coupled chaotic system, which coupled the piecewise and Henon mapping. Simulation results indicate that the novel mapping has better complexity and initial sensitivity and larger key space compared with the original mapping. Then, a new color image encryption algorithm is proposed based on the new chaotic mapping. The algorithm has two processes: diffusion and confusion. In this scheme, the key is more than 2 216 , and SSIM and PSNR are 0.009675 and 8.6767, respectively. The secret key is applied in the shuffling and diffusion. Security analysis indicates that the proposed scheme can resist cryptanalytic attacks. It has superior performance and has high security.

For the security of medical image, a new algorithm of medical image encryption is designed. The novel algorithm is based on a chaotic system composed of the two-dimensional Sine Logistic modulation map (2D-SLMM) and the two-dimensional Hénon-Sine map (2D-HSM). The main encryption procedure includes zigzag scan scramble, pixel grey value transformation, and dynamic diffusion. On the pixel grey value transformation stage, a password feedback is added. This makes the relationship between password and key more complicated. The proposed scheme is lossless for medical image encryption and decryption. It avoids the problems of low-dimensional chaotic map such as narrow interval and few parameters, as well as the problem of the special texture and contour of medical images. The key space of the novel algorithm is big enough, and the encryption and decryption processing are sensitive to the key. Simulation and experiments validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the novel algorithm. Security analysis proves the algorithm is resistant to common attacks.
