Secure Medical Image Transmission using the RLCD Algorithm

Abstract

As digital platforms increasingly manage sensitive medical information, securing the transmission of medical images is essential to maintain confidentiality and data integrity. This project introduces an efficient and secure cryptographic framework specifically designed for medical image encryption using Reversible Logic Cryptography Design (RLCD). The approach incorporates Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSR) combined with XOR gates, enabling low-power and high-speed encryption and decryption to protect patient data without sacrificing performance. By integrating reversible logic gates, this system effectively reduces energy dissipation and prevents information loss, making it well-suited for applications where data accuracy is critical. Implemented in Verilog HDL and deployed on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), this design provides a robust solution to address the unique security demands in medical imaging.
