Description
Summary:The privacy protection and data security problems existing in the healthcare framework based on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) have always attracted much attention and need to be solved urgently. In the teledermatology healthcare framework, the smartphone can acquire dermatology medical images for remote diagnosis. The dermatology medical image is vulnerable to attacks during transmission, resulting in malicious tampering or privacy data disclosure. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a watermarking scheme that doesn't tamper with the dermatology medical image and doesn't disclose the dermatology healthcare data. Federated learning is a distributed machine learning framework with privacy protection and secure encryption technology. Therefore, this paper presents a robust zero-watermarking scheme based on federated learning to solve the privacy and security issues of the teledermatology healthcare framework. This scheme trains the sparse autoencoder network by federated learning. The trained sparse autoencoder network is applied to extract image features from the dermatology medical image. Image features are undergone to two-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (2D-DCT) in order to select low-frequency transform coefficients for creating zero-watermarking. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme has more robustness to the conventional attack and geometric attack and achieves superior performance when compared with other zero-watermarking schemes. The proposed scheme is suitable for the specific requirements of medical images, which neither changes the important information contained in medical images nor divulges privacy data.
