Securing of Medical Images Using Quantum Cryptography

This paper introduces a framework for chaos-based quantum encryption of healthcare images. It enables secure transmission of cipher images from one location to another via the cloud, where healthcare staff can decrypt and assist users securely. The system combines MATLAB and Verilog, utilizing MATLAB for image preprocessing and Verilog for implementing a quantum cryptography algorithm. Images are preprocessed in MATLAB, converted to an encrypted format using Verilog with a quantum cryptography algorithm like BB84, and decrypted on the receiving end. The proposed approach also incorporates a novel quantum image encryption algorithm using gray code and a chaotic map. This integration enables the development of a secure image processing system for healthcare media using quantum cryptography techniques.
