Development of an Optimized QuantumTechniques for Secure Remote Medical Image Sharing

S. Princy Sophia Rani, Ahmad Abdelhafiz Ali Samhan, R. Srinivasa Rao +3 more

Secure remote sharing of medical images is essential for advancing telemedicine, accurate diagnostics, and collaborative healthcare delivery. The traditional cryptography techniques are fast turning to be susceptible to quantum computing risks and generally are less efficient in high throughput medical settings. To counter such a shortcoming, we present an innovative quantum-oriented solution that utilizes optimized methods of secure and real-time medical image transmission over a long-distance network. In this method, Quantum Key Distribution (BB84 protocol), hybrid cryptography, quantum informed optimization, and quantum steganography are used to provide efficient high-fidelity and low latency transmission of images. The QKD is used to securely create symmetric keys that are to be used in the AES 256 encryption of the image and Elliptic Curve Cryptography is applied so that the metadata can be kept confidential. Immutable and transparent access logs are kept by using the blockchain technology. In order to even improve the performance, a dynamically tuning encryption parameters using a Quantum Genetic Algorithm can be applied to eliminate the computing overhead. Experimental testing with NIH Chest X-ray dataset shows an average encryption and decryption speed of 38.1 milliseconds, with a success rate of more than 25% relative to the conventional post-quantum cryptographic system. The results of a secure transmission show a decrease in latency of 12.5% over the TLS-enhanced QKD. The system keeps the Quantum Bit Error Rate at less than 5% under realistic noise levels and retains more than 75% of the key material obtained. In quantum steganography, the level of accuracy to detect tampering is 98.6%, hence data integrity. The solution has shown the capability to integrate quantum-level security, computing performance, and regulatory durability to become a trusted and long-term process of safe sharing of medical images in modern healthcare systems.

A Comprehensive Review of Secure Medical Image Cryptanalysis with Quantum Neural Networks for IoT-Enabled Cloud Storage

Behruz Ramasubbu

The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled healthcare systems has led to the widespread use of cloud-based platforms for storing and transmitting medical images. While this paradigm improves accessibility and scalability, it also introduces significant security challenges, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks. Secure medical image cryptanalysis has therefore become a critical research area, focusing on evaluating and strengthening encryption techniques used in healthcare systems. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning and quantum neural networks (QNNs), have opened new avenues for enhancing medical image security. Quantum neural networks leverage principles of quantum computing such as superposition and entanglement to improve computational efficiency and encryption strength. Additionally, deep learning-based cryptographic techniques enable intelligent key generation, anomaly detection, and attack mitigation. This paper presents a comprehensive review of secure medical image cryptanalysis techniques using quantum neural networks in IoT-enabled cloud storage environments. The study explores hybrid approaches combining quantum-inspired algorithms, deep learning models, and cryptographic techniques to improve data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Recent research highlights the effectiveness of quantum-enhanced encryption frameworks, such as quantum key distribution and hybrid cryptographic systems, in protecting sensitive medical data. Despite these advancements, challenges such as high computational complexity, limited quantum hardware availability, and scalability issues persist. This review analyses recent developments, identifies research gaps, and provides future directions for developing secure and efficient medical image cryptanalysis systems.

Fusion cryptography for secure medical data transmission using mathematical quantum computing operations

Amer Aljaedi, Sajjad Shaukat Jamal, Abdullah Aljuhni +2 more

With the growing demand for highly secure medical data transmission, this research introduces a fused cryptography framework that integrates mathematical quantum computing operations with advanced classical encryption techniques. The proposed method incorporates quantum principles, including quantum walks, quantum-based cyclic shift operators, quantum XOR operations, and quantum key image generation with classical methods such as bit-plane extraction and hyperchaotic system-based scrambling. A hyperchaotic map generates random key sequences to produce both a spatial domain random image and a quantum key image. The medical image is first decomposed into eight bit-planes, and only the high-information bit-planes (HIBPs) undergo encryption to optimize computational efficiency. HIBPs are scrambled using multilayer, block-wise, and diagonal permutations based on the chaotic sequences. Quantum encryption is then applied, starting with novel enhanced quantum representation encoding, followed by Baker map-based scrambling and quantum XOR diffusion to secure the final ciphertext. Extensive experiments, including entropy evaluation, noise attack resilience, clipping attack robustness, and correlation analysis, confirm the superior security and performance of the proposed method. Notably, the algorithm achieves near-ideal results, such as an entropy of 7.9999, a correlation coefficient of 0.0001, 98% plaintext recovery after 30% noise corruption, and 96% recovery after 25% ciphertext clipping, demonstrating its robustness for secure medical data transmission.
