Secure Transmission of Medical Information by Adopting Blockchain Data Hiding Technique in Channel Coding

Abstract

Telemedicine is growing at a very rapid pace, where the doctor monitors the patient from a remote distance and provides medical assistance. This can be achieved using a wireless medium, which is prone to hacking, the patient information could be hacked through the wireless channel. To overcome this problem, we need to use the concept of blockchain into data hiding technique for medical images. The proposed blockchain data hiding scheme depends on the LSB (Least Segment Bit) steganographyand the data hiding capacity of medical image is analyzed by using Matlab tool.According to the simulation results, we observe that the BER of secret data is allowable and the data hiding capacity has been increased 0.029(hiding ratio).
