Abstract

To ensure the safety of medical images and patient information, this paper proposes a robust algorithm based on encrypted medical images. Firstly, the medical image is encrypted by combining DWT-DCT and tent mapping. Then, the features of the encrypted medical image are extracted by DWT-Gabor transform. Finally, the scrambled watermark is embedded into the encrypted medical image combined with zero watermark technology. Experiments show that the algorithm in this paper has good robustness and invisibility, and can resist a certain degree of conventional attacks and geometric attacks, especially against the translation and crop attacks.
