Abstract

How to guarantee the confidentiality of sensitive data communicated over the Internet and restrict access to designated information is today’s key security and protection concern in telemedicine. In this work, we suggest a reliable and blind medical image watermarking method that combines integer wavelet transform (IWT) and singular value decomposition to keep such information private. A major drawback of current IWT-based watermarking systems is their low embedding capacity. This paper suggests an IWT-based secure large capacity watermarking solution to overcome this specific drawback. The proposed technique effectively preserves a considerable quality of watermarked images, and the watermark is resistant to the most frequently used attacks in watermarking, according to experiment results on imperceptibility and robustness.
