Integrity verified lightweight ciphering for secure medical image sharing between embedded SoCs.

In the age of digital communication, safeguarding the security and integrity of transmitted images is crucial, especially for online and real-time applications where data privacy is paramount. This paper addresses the problem of protecting sensitive medical images during transmission by proposing a robust, lightweight encryption scheme. The proposed method uses keys derived from the Lorentz attractor for diffusion and a 16-bit Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) for pseudo-random confusion.
