Cyber Security for Medical Image Encryption using Circular Blockchain Technology Based on Modify DES Algorithm

Abstract

Recently, with the requirement for protecting the privacy of images transferred over the internet and media networks. The need to protect these images from hacking by unauthorized persons and from the manipulation of these images has become very important in this research, Block chain technology was used for its importance in cybersecurity. To maintain the confidentiality of the patient's medical data, as a result, to solve this problem requires increasing the strength of the key used in the encryption process, which is responsible for ensuring the security of the image .In this paper, it is proposed to use block chain technology with the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm for the purpose of increasing the degree of security of the transmitted images by enhancing the key during the process of encrypting the transmitted images as well as increasing the degree of authentication between the sender and receiver. Experimental outcomes manifested that the security of encryption image that gained via the suggested algorithm is higher, performing the goal of protecting the information of medical image, as presented by the results obtained in Entropy, MSE, and PSNR.
