Abstract:
A Lightweight Signcryption scheme using Improved SIMON and Ring Signature for medical image security is proposed in the paper. As medical images in the healthcare sector have a greater security concern, this paper aims to propose a signcryption scheme that would apply encryption and signature in a single step, thereby providing confidentiality and authentication. The major aim is to provide security to the medical images in the healthcare sector, such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scan images. Applying a proper security mechanism can secure these images of the patients. The proposed signcryption process applies a lightweight encryption SIMON algorithm for encryption and a ring signature for authentication. The proposed signcryption process guarantees the image’s confidentiality and the sender's identity. The proposed method is implemented using the python platform, and results are compared with existing methods. Two different datasets have been used to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The simulation outcomes demonstrate the proposed approach's effectiveness in boosting the security and proficiency of medical data transmission.
