Abstract

This paper describes the application of cryptography and steganography in the protection of cardiac databases. The original cardiac data studied were transformed using a Daubechies wavelet transform. The next step is to conduct Energy Packing Efficiency-based compression. A watermark is added to the received data to protect against unauthorized access, before hybrid cryptography is performed using a suitably selected encryption algorithm. The presented and analyzed algorithm includes protection using public and symmetric key cryptography. The proposed software algorithm is performed on real electrocardiographic, photoplethysmographic, and Holter cardio data. We have evaluated the effectiveness of the applied approach and concluded that a sufficient level of protection of the studied data has been achieved, with methods of authentication and accuracy applied to the users.
