Abstract

 The fusion of the Internet of Things (IoT) with medical systems, termed the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), facilitates critical medical functions such as instant diagnosis, remote patient monitoring, and real-time prescription management. However, a significant challenge in healthcare services revolves around ensuring the security and privacy of medical data within IoMT platforms. This study focuses on integration of lightweight cryptography techniques with a steganography model to safeguard medical information. Initially, medical data undergoes segmentation into even and odd characters, with elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) applied to encrypt even characters and Feistel Block Cipher (FBC) to encrypt odd characters. Subsequently, a redundant discrete wavelet transforms (RDWT) based steganography technique conceals the encrypted data within a cover image. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior resilience and imperceptibility in terms of metrics like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), and Mean Square Error (MSE) compared to existing methods. Furthermore, the proposed approach also boasts reduced computational overhead compared to traditional techniques.
