Memetic Optimization with Cryptographic Encryption for Secure Medical Data Transmission in IoT-Based Distributed Systems

Abstract:

In the healthcare system, the Internet of Things (IoT) based distributed

systems play a vital role in transferring the medical-related documents and infor mation among the organizations to reduce the replication in medical tests. This

datum is sensitive, and hence security is a must in transforming the sensational

contents. In this paper, an Evolutionary Algorithm, namely the Memetic Algo rithm is used for encrypting the text messages. The encrypted information is then

inserted into the medical images using Discrete Wavelet Transform 1 level and

2 levels. The reverse method of the Memetic Algorithm is implemented when

extracting a hidden message from the encoded letter. To show its precision, equiva lent to five RGB images and five Grayscale images are used to test the proposed

algorithm. The results of the proposed algorithm were analyzed using statistical

methods, and the proposed algorithm showed the importance of data transfer in

healthcare systems in a stable environment. In the future, to embed the privacy-pre serving of medical data, it can be extended with blockchain technology
