- Abstract
Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is one of the emerging research areas which integrates the Internet of Things (IoT) with social networking concepts. It envisages better information sharing, by overcoming the scalability issues in IoT. It is supposed to overhaul the smart health industry, as it is a flexible compared to conventional IoT based solutions. It however poses many challenges with data authentication and privacy, being a couple of such issues that need to be addressed. In this paper, we present an efficient watermarking method for tamper detection, localization, and self-recovery of medical images for SIoT-based smart health networks. The cover image is initially divided into four equal parts, with each part progressively divided into 4 × 4 non-overlapping blocks. A watermark is prepared from a group of randomly chosen four, 4 × 4 blocks, determined by chaotic mapping. The information is embedded into 4 sub-blocks mapped utilizing chaotic sequence such that the restoration process can be carried out even if three sub-blocks out of four containing the information, get tampered with. The proposed technique is found to restore almost 1/3rd of the tampered image and produces a high-quality image with the average Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio value of above 33 dB after the restoration process. The performance of the proposed method for various collage attacks shows its efficacy over other state-of-the-art techniques making it a potential candidate for SIoT driven smart health systems.
