Robust and Secure Watermarking Technique for E-Health Applications

Advancement in information and communication technology in health sector has been developed at a rapid pace, and has consequently improved its different services. Securing patients’s health documents becomes crucial and researchers have investigated more than one privacy measures involving the access control, the security and the integrity of these documents. In this paper, we propose a novel QR-code-based watermarking technique for medical images. The generated QR code pattern is the result of converting a watermarked image which is obtained by embedding the concatenation of diagnostic results and a specific collusion-secure code to the original image.
