Information Security in Health Care Centre Using Cryptography and Steganography
This addresses security issues in healthcare data to prevent breaches and improve patient care, but it is incremental as it combines existing techniques.
The study tackled the problem of securing medical data by combining 3DES and LSB cryptography and steganography, resulting in a reliable and secure method for storing, sharing, and managing such data.
As the volume of medicinal information stored electronically increase, so do the need to enhance how it is secured. The inaccessibility to patient record at the ideal time can prompt death toll and also well degrade the level of health care services rendered by the medicinal professionals. Criminal assaults in social insurance have expanded by 125% since 2010 and are now the leading cause of medical data breaches. This study therefore presents the combination of 3DES and LSB to improve security measure applied on medical data. Java programming language was used to develop a simulation program for the experiment. The result shows medical data can be stored, shared, and managed in a reliable and secure manner using the combined model.
