Abstract
Recently, medical image encryption has attracted many researchers because of security issues in the communication process. The recent COVID-19 has highlighted the fact that medical images are consistently created and disseminated online, leading to a need for protection from unauthorised utilisation. This paper intends to review the various medical image encryption approaches along with their merits and limitations. It includes a survey, a brief introduction, and the most utilised interesting applications of image encryption. Then, the contributions of reviewed approaches are summarised and compared regarding different technical perspectives. Lastly, we highlight the recent challenges along with several directions of potential research that could fill the gaps in these domains for researchers and developers.
期刊介绍:
This Journal provides an international forum for the timely publication and dissemination of foundational and applied research in the domain of Evolutionary Intelligence. The spectrum of emerging fields in contemporary artificial intelligence, including Big Data, Deep Learning, Computational Neuroscience bridged with evolutionary computing and other population-based search methods constitute the flag of Evolutionary Intelligence Journal.Topics of interest for Evolutionary Intelligence refer to different aspects of evolutionary models of computation empowered with intelligence-based approaches, including but not limited to architectures, model optimization and tuning, machine learning algorithms, life inspired adaptive algorithms, swarm-oriented strategies, high performance computing, massive data processing, with applications to domains like computer vision, image processing, simulation, robotics, computational finance, media, internet of things, medicine, bioinformatics, smart cities, and similar. Surveys outlining the state of art in specific subfields and applications are welcome.
