Abstract

Patient privacy and data protection have been crucial concerns in E-healthcare systems for many years. In modern-day applications, patient data usually holds clinical imagery, records, and other medical details. Lately, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), equipped with cloud computing, has come out to be a beneficial paradigm in the healthcare field. However, the openness of networks and systems leads to security threats and illegal access. Therefore, reliable, fast, and robust security methods need to be developed to ensure the safe exchange of healthcare data generated from various image sensing and other IoMT-driven devices in the IoMT network. This paper presents an image protection scheme for healthcare applications to protect patients’ medical image data exchanged in IoMT networks. The proposed security scheme depends on an enhanced 2D discrete chaotic map and allows dynamic substitution based on an optimized highly-nonlinear S-box and diffusion to gain an excellent security performance. The optimized S-box has an excellent nonlinearity score of 112. The new image protection scheme is efficient enough to exhibit correlation values less than 0.0022, entropy values higher than 7.999, and NPCR values around 99.6%. To reveal the efficacy of the scheme, several comparison studies are presented. These comparison studies reveal that the novel protection scheme is robust, efficient, and capable of securing healthcare imagery in IoMT systems.
