ANALYSIS OF SECURE CLOUD STORAGE PROVISIONING FOR MEDICAL IMAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Medical images are considered to be the most sensitive images as it contains various health-related sensitive information of an individual and it is necessary for the health care organization to maintain the sensitivity of these images without anybody misusing these data. When these images are transferred digitally through a network in order to store it in a cloud for easy access for the authorities of the health care system, it is important to compress and encrypt these images to reduce the size and safeguard the information before storing and make sure that these images are transferred securely. In this paper, we use Huffman Coding technique in order to compress the image for easy transmission and to consume less storage space in cloud. To maintain the confidentiality of these images Blowfish encryption methodology is used. Once the image undergoes compression and encryption, the encrypted image is transferred and stored in a cloud storage
