Background: Patient data in current computed tomography scanner machines are transferred through several communication channels, such as WiFi, to the mobile channel platform. Therefore, patient information is an important security concern. Medical imaging must be protected using various methods.
Objective: The current hardware-dependent method for generating random bits exhibits predictable or inconvenient physical characteristics. Therefore, a more flexible random-bit generation technique is to be devised.
Methods: We propose a deterministic random bit generation algorithm that uses a mathematical periodic function.
Results: After randomizing the image using the proposed random bit, the performance is analyzed and compared with that of the processed image.
Conclusion: The random bit generation method using a mathematical algorithm shows higher entropy than the random bit generated by hardware.

With the increasing importance of securing images during network transmission, this paper introduces a novel image encryption algorithm that integrates a 3D chaotic system with V-shaped scrambling techniques. The proposed method begins by constructing a unique 3D chaotic system to generate chaotic sequences for encryption. These sequences determine a random starting point for V-shaped scrambling, which facilitates the transformation of image pixels into quaternary numbers.

We study the structural properties of networks formed by random sets of bit strings-namely the ordered arrays of binary variables representing, for instance, genetic information or cultural profiles. Two bit strings are connected by a network link when they are sufficiently similar to each other, i.e.

In recent years, many chaotic image encryption algorithms have been cracked by chosen plaintext attack. Therefore, the method of associating the key with the plaintext to resist the cryptanalysis has received extensive attention from designers. This paper proposes a new method of cryptanalysis for image encryption algorithms with a key associated with plaintext.

In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the performance of a random number generator (RNG) that exploits ring oscillators (ROs). Our approach employs additional phase detectors to extract more entropy; thus, RNG uses fewer resources to produce bit sequences that pass all statistical tests proposed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Generating a specified number of bits is on-demand, eliminating the need for continuous RNG operation.

Background: Muscarinic receptor agonism and positive allosteric modulation is a promising mechanism of action for treating psychosis, not present in most D2R-blocking antipsychotics. Xanomeline, an M1/M4-preferring agonist, has shown efficacy in late-stage clinical trials, with more compounds being investigated. Therefore, we aim to synthesize evidence on the preclinical efficacy of muscarinic receptor agonists and positive allosteric modulators in animal models of psychosis to provide unique insights and evidence-based information to guide drug development.
