Securing patient information: A multilayered cryptographic approach in IoT healthcare

Creator

Description

The increasing integration of devices utilising the of Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare has resulted in the collection of an unparalleled volume of patient data. Personal identifiers, insurance information, medical history, and health monitoring measures are all included in a complete dataset. Ensuring security and privacy of IoT devices is crucial in the healthcare sector. The goal of this project is to combine steganography with three different cryptographic algorithms to develop a hybrid cryptographic technique. Among the algorithms under investigation are steganography, Caesar cipher, columnar transposition cipher, and one-time pad. Every encryption scheme uses three keys to encrypt patient data. The encrypted data is subsequently encoded into an image file through image-based steganography. To ensure confidentiality and authentication, an authorised user can decrypt the file through a designated decryption process, maintaining the integrity of patient data. 2025 selection and editorial matter, Keshav Kumar and Bishwajeet Kumar Pandey; individual chapters, the contributors.
