SECURED EEG DISTRIBUTION IN TELEMEDICINE USING ENCRYPTION MECHANISM

Abstract

Telemedicine changes the way patients

are treated, from the traditional methods of a person

care to remote care; telemedicine may also improve

healthcare access to areas where it was essentially not

available in the past. Telemedicine allows for a

virtual communication, using real–time audiovisual

information transmitted over, between a patient and

a physician at two different sites. Use of this

technology has the potential to reduce the cost of

providing healthcare.

Telemedicine totally depends on public network.

Telemedicine technology uses wireless network for

the transmission of medical information or data.

So there is a need to provide security of the patient

valuable data so that unauthorized user can not

access and modify the data.

To provide the privacy or security to the information

the various encryption techniques have been

developed. In this paper the two encryption

techniques LFSR - based and chaos-based encryption

techniques are discussed. Our techniques provide all

QOS features like key sensitivity, encryption

decryption time, network latency etc. those are

essential for the quality of medical data in

telemedicine system.
