The wireless body area networks (WBANs) consist of wearable computing devices and can support various healthcare-related applications. There exist two crucial issues when WBANs are utilized for healthcare applications. One is the protection of the sensitive biometric data transmitted over the insecure wireless channels. The other is the design of effective medical management mechanisms. In this paper, a secure medical information management system is proposed and implemented on a TinyOS-based WBAN test bed to simultaneously address these two issues. In this system, the electronic medical record (EMR) is bound to the biometric data with a novel fragile zero-watermarking scheme based on the modified visual secret sharing (MVSS). In this manner, the EMR can be utilized not only for medical management but also for data integrity checking. Additionally, both the biometric data and the EMR are encrypted, and the EMR is further protected by the MVSS. Our analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system not only protects the confidentialities of both the biometric data and the EMR but also offers reliable patient information authentication, explicit healthcare operation verification and undeniable doctor liability identification for WBANs.

Fragile watermarking is a technique to insert a watermark into an image without significantly degrading its visual quality so that the watermark can be extracted for the purposes of authentication or integrity verification. And the watermark for authentication and integrity verification should be erased easily when the image is changed by filtering etc. In this paper, we propose a image block-wise watermarking method for image tamper proofing using digital signature. In the proposed method, a digital signature is generated from the hash code of the initialized image block. And The proposed method is able to detect the tampered parts of the image without testing the entire block of the watermarked image.

The rapid development of healthcare information management for 3D medical digital library, 3D PACS and 3D medical diagnosis has addressed security issues with medical IT technology. This paper presents multiple 3D medical image data for protection, authentication, indexing and diagnosis information hiding applied to healthcare information management. The proposed scheme based on POCS watermarking embeds the robust watermark for doctor's digital signature and information retrieval indexing key to the distribution of vertex curvedness and embeds the fragile watermark for diagnosis information and authentication reference message to the distance difference of vertex. The multiple embedding process designs three convex sets for robustness, fragileness and invisibility and projects 3D medical image data onto three convex sets alternatively and iteratively. Experimental results confirmed that the proposed scheme has the robustness and fragileness to various 3D geometric and mesh modifiers at once.

최근 급증하는 디지털 멀티미디어 정보를 보호하기 위해 다양한 종류의 디지털 워터마킹 방법들이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 워터마킹의 기본 원리를 살펴보고, 삼각형 스트립(triangle strip)을 이용한 삼차원 모델에 대한 연성 워터마킹 (fragile watermarking) 방법을 제안한다. 사용자 키(key) 값으로 생성된 이진 무작위 시퀀스는 배타적 논리합(exclusive OR) 연산을 통해 이진 워터마크 시퀀스와 결합한 후, 꼭지점 좌표(vertex coordinates)를 변동시켜 삼각형 스트립에 삽입된다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통해, 제안한 워터마킹 방법이 무작위 잡음 첨가(additive random noise), 이동, 회전, 비례 축소(scaling), 폴리곤 간략화(polygon simplification), 기하 정보 압축 (geometry compression) 등과 같은 삼차원 모델에 대한 다양한 공격을 검출할 수 있으며 변조된 위치를 표시할 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

일반적으로 인증과 무결성 증명을 목적으로 하는 연성 워터마킹은 영상의 블록별로 워터마킹을 수행하게 된다. 블록별로 워터마킹을 수행하는 기법은 블록 cut-and-paste 공격 또는 collage 공격이 발생하게 되면 영상의 변조에도 워터마크가 깨어지지 않고 정상적으로 추출되는 문제점이 발생한다. 몇 몇 기법은 영상의 각 블록을 워터마킹 할 때에 이웃하는 블록들의 정보를 이용한 워터마킹으로 이러한 공격에 대응하고 있다. 하지만 이웃하는 블록을 이용하는 기법에도 변조된 위치 측정이 정확하지 않다는 단점이 있다. LIU[1]가 제안한 기법은 블록을 이등분하여 반은 이웃 블록의 정보와 해당 블록의 정보를, 나머지 반은 해당 블록의 정보를 삽입함으로서 위치 측정을 향상시키는 기법을 제안하였다 하지만, LIU의 기법에서 해당 블록의 이전 블록과 이후의 블록이 동시에 변조되면 해당 블록의 변조 여부가 정확해지지 않는다는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 블록을 3등분하여 해당 블록의 이전 블록과 이후 블록의 정보를 사용함으로 LIU 기법의 문제점을 해결하면서 위치 측정을 정확하게 하는 기법을 제안한다.

This paper discusses techniques for embedding data into 3D polygonal models of geometry. Much researches of Watermarking had been gone as element technology of DRM (digital rights management). But, few research had gone to 3D polygonal model. Most research is limited at text document, 2D image, animation, music etc. RP system is suitable a few production in various goods species, and it is used much in industry to possible reason that produce prototype and find error or incongruent factor at early stage on design in product development childhood. This paper is research about method that insert watermark in STL ( stereolithography) file that have 3D shape model. Proposed algorithm inserts watermark in normal vector region and facet's interior region of 3D shape data. For this reason, 3D shape does not produce some flexure and fulfill invisibility of watermark. Experiment results that insert and extract watermark in normal netter region and facet's Interior region of 3D shape data by proposed algorithm do not influence entirely in 3D shape and show that insertion and extraction of watermark are possible.

In this paper, a new fragi1e watermarking algorithm for medical images is proposed. It makes possible to resolve the security and forgery problem of the medical images. In the proposed algorithm. the singularity which represents the inherent characteristic of the medical image is extracted and used as watermark. To extract the singularity point. we adopted Mallat wavelet transform because it can describe the edge of image exactly. Mallat wavelet transform produces horizontal and vertical subbands of the same resolution with the original image. The magnitude and phase components of the edge are obtained using these subbands. Based on the magnitude and phase components. LMM which will be used as watermark is determined. As LMM is the inherent singularity of image, if any forgery is applied to medical image, LMM of original and forged image are different each other Detecting the changes of LMM for the two images makes it possible whether any image is undergone forgery or not From the experimental results, we conformed that the proposed algorithm detects the forged area of the image very well.
