Integrity verified lightweight ciphering for secure medical image sharing between embedded SoCs.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In the age of digital communication, safeguarding the security and integrity of transmitted images is crucial, especially for online and real-time applications where data privacy is paramount. This paper addresses the problem of protecting sensitive medical images during transmission by proposing a robust, lightweight encryption scheme. The proposed method uses keys derived from the Lorentz attractor for diffusion and a 16-bit Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) for pseudo-random confusion. Additionally, the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) process enhances the encryption output to ensure stronger security. A 512-bit hashing scheme using the Whirlpool algorithm is implemented to maintain data integrity, providing a robust hash comparison mechanism. The obtained hash values achieve a Hamming distance of 46.5-53.3% against the ideal value of 50%, demonstrating its high sensitivity. Furthermore, a custom-tailored lightweight symmetric key encryption secures the hash values before transmission from the sender alongside the encrypted images. At the receiver end, the hash is decrypted and compared with the extracted hash from the received cipher image to verify integrity, enabling secure decryption. The encrypted DICOM images achieve an average entropy value of 7.99752, a PSNR of 5.872 dB, NPCR of 99.66128%, and a UACI of 33.55964%, while the noise attack analysis further demonstrates its robustness. The entire process was implemented and tested on Xilinx PYNQ-Z1 System on Chip (SoC) boards, with user interaction facilitated through a custom-designed Graphical User Interface (GUI). The experimental results confirm the scheme's effectiveness in securing medical images while maintaining integrity and resilience against attacks, making it suitable for real-time and wireless applications.
