Fatma E.-z. A. Elgamal, Noha A. Hikal, F. E. Z. Abou-chadi . Secret Medical Image Sharing and EPR Data Embedding Scheme over Cloud Computing Environment. International Journal of Computer Applications. 69, 11 ( May 2013), 19-26. DOI=10.5120/11887-7926
The fast development in the term of telecommunication helps on the appearance of variety of modern applications such as the telemedicine where the patients' digital data can transfer over insecure mediums between the doctors for farther diagnosis and dealing with these transmitted data. Therefore, the protection of the exchanged medical data is essential especially when working on the cloud computing environment, where the security is considered a major issue. In addition to the security, the high visibility of the medical images must also be achieved. This paper presents a novel approach that guarantees the secure sharing of medical images over the cloud computing environment by providing the mean of trust management between the authorized parities of these data and also allows the privacy sharing of the Electronic Patients' Records (EPR) string data between those parities while preserving the shared medical image from the distortion. The experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed scheme and also the robustness against various types of attacks.
