Abstract
In the process of network transmission, medical images are maliciously attacked to cause the loss of diagnostic data or the leakage of patient privacy. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a robust watermarking algorithm for encrypted medical images based on PHTs-DCT. First, use DWT-DCT and tent chaotic sequence to encrypt the medical image, which increases the security of the carrier medical image information. Then, PHTs-DCT transform is performed on the encrypted medical image to extract the feature vector. Finally, using the homomorphism of the encryption algorithm, combined with the concept of a third party, the zero-watermarking technology is used to embed and extract the watermark of the encrypted medical image. Experiments based on the MATLAB simulation platform, a large number of experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good robustness to conventional attacks, and geometric attacks, especially in scaling, compression and translation attacks.
