Abstract
The security of images or {uFB01}les transferred via internet is very important issue. Especially the patient information {uFB01}les at hospitals. These images must be secured before sending it through internet. The requirements of securing the image that transferred via internet are con{uFB01}dentiality, integrity, source authentication and availability. The proposed model satis{uFB01}ed most of security requirements to ensure that any medical image related to any patient can not be accessed via any unauthorized person. Applying encryption technique in the medical image to ensure that only authorized person can decrypt this medical image and can obtain the original image. By using encryption the proposed model ensured authentication and integrity. The ownership of these medical images is very important to prove. The ownership of any medical image is identi{uFB01}ed by using watermark related to the owner of this medi - cal image. The name of patient and serial number is used as watermark, the ear image is captured and used it to identify ownership by extracting features of patient{u2019}s ear image and embedded it into the original image. It{u2019}s very important to secure these features because it includes important patient information (ear image). Con{uFB01}dentiality and own - ership are ensured via encrypted information related to the patient and embedded it into medical image. Traditional methods for personal identi{uFB01}cation are based on what is the person knowing like PINs (personal Identi{uFB01}cation numbers), log - ins, passwords, identi{uFB01}cation cards and speci{uFB01}c keys. This method has a lot of disadvantages such as di{uFB03}cult to remember, any person can crack passwords, cards and keys are often stolen. Because of disadvantage of traditional methods for identi{uFB01}cation preferred to use biometrics. Ear biometrics is used because it has many advantages of using it as a source of data for human identi{uFB01}cation
