Hash Based Encryption for Keyframes of Diagnostic Hysteroscopy

Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of confidentiality of keyframes, which are extracted from diagnostic hysteroscopy data using video summarization. We propose an image color coding method aimed at increasing the security of keyframes extracted from diagnostic hysteroscopy videos. In this regard, we use a 2-D logistic map to generate the cryptographic keys sequences, which relies on mixing and cascading the orbits of the chaotic map in order to generate the stream keys for the encryption algorithm. The encrypted images produced by our proposed algorithm exhibit randomness behavior, providing a high-level of security for the keyframes against various attacks. The experimental results and security analysis from different perspectives verify the superior security and high efficiency of our proposed encryption scheme compared to other state-of-the-art image encryption algorithms. Furthermore, the proposed method can be combined with mobile-cloud environments and can be generalized to ensure the security of cloud contents as well as important data during transmission.
