Abstract:

Because of the importance of the security issues in the management of medical information, we suggest to use a multiple watermarking scheme which may help with the problems of medical confidentiality protection and data authentication. The scheme embeds diagnosis in the medical image on the spatial field to preserve the history of the genuine image. This technique allows     multi-insertions by many doctors in order to give an exact diagnosis to the patient.

Keywords: multiple watermarking, spatial fields, historic.
