Medical images are transmitted via the Internet or the hospital intranet which include many important information about the patient's personal information. Medical image encryption is a technology that can effectively protect the information contained in these medical images. In this paper, we give a secure and trusty Combined Cellular Automata (CoCA) based medical image encryption algorithm. CoCA is made up of a nonlinear CA and a linear 90/150 maximum length CA, and three dimensional generalized chaotic map. The proposed algorithm consists of two phases. The first phase encryption process that changes pixel values of a given image using two CoCAs. The second phase is to change the position of each pixel in the image encrypted using the three dimensional generalized chaotic cat map that can change with effect the position of pixels not only in two dimensions horizontally and vertically but also in color plane three colored channels simultaneously. We show the stability and high reliability of the given color medical image cryptosystem through detailed analysis and various statistical experimental tests.
In this paper, we design a cellular automata (CA)based ROI (region of interest) image encryption system that can effectively reduce computational cost and maintain an appropriate level of security. The proposed image encryption system obtains a cryptographic image through three steps. First, a region of interest with high importance is extracted from the entire image using deep learning. We use the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm to extract the ROI from a given original image. Next, the detected ROI is encrypted using the Chen system, a chaotic-based function with high security. Finally, the execution time is effectively reduced by encrypting the entire image using a hardware-friendly CA. The safety of the proposed encryption system is verified through various statistical experiment results and analyses.
