Cryptographic Engineering on COVID-19 Telemedicine: An Intelligent Transmission Through Recurrent Relation Based Session Key

Constraints imposed due to the cameo of the novel corona virus has abruptly changed the operative mode of medical sciences. Most of the hospitals have migrated towards the telemedicine mode of services for the non-invasive and non-emergency patients during the COVID-19 time. The advent of telemedicine services has remotely rendered health services to different types of patients from their isolates. Here, the patients’ medical data has to be transmitted to different physicians/doctors in a safe manner. Such data are to be secured with a view to restore its privacy clause. Cardio vascular diseases (CVDs) are a kind of cardiac disease related to blockage of arteries and veins. Cardiac patients are more susceptible to the COVID-19 attacks. They are advised to be treated though cardiac telemedicine services. This paper presents an intelligent and secured transmission of clinical cardiac reports of the patients through recurrence relation based session key. Such reports were made through the following confusion matrix operations. The beauty of this technique is that confusion matrices are transferred to specified number of cardiologists with additional secret shares encapsulation. The case of robustness checking, transparency and cryptographic engineering has been tested under different set of inputs. The total cryptographic time observed here was noted as [Formula: see text] ms, 3 ms[Formula: see text] , [Formula: see text] ms, [Formula: see text] ms, [Formula: see text] ms, and 660.16 ms, which is acceptable when compared with other classical techniques. The estimation of correlation coefficient in proposed variables has been recorded as − [Formula: see text] . Different types of result and its analysis proves the efficiency of the proposed technique. It will provide more security in medical data transmission, especially in the needy hours of COVID-19 pandemic.
