Abstract

Recently, image steganography is being considered as an alternative method for securing medical data to avoid medical related cybercrimes. This paper proposes a new image steganography approach for securing medical data. Swapped Huffman tree coding is used to apply lossless compression and manifold encryption to the payload before embedding into the cover image. Additionally, only edge regions of the cover image are used to embed the secret data which offers high imperceptibility. The results show that the proposed method ensures confidentiality and secrecy of patient information while maintaining imperceptibility.
