Eid Delta Higher Institute for Engineering and Technology, Mansoura, Egypt Shaimaa A. Hussien Medical data has attracted much interest; a quick, lossless, and secure cryptosystem is required for saving and transferring images over open networks while maintaining the image's details. This paper shows how to protect medical images with an encryption method based on hybrid chaotic maps. The proposed hybrid method is constructed to deal with problems like confusion and diffusion with a large key space. The technique uses a mix of different chaos maps for a specific set of control settings. There is a complete explanation of how encryption and decryption operations work. The security analysis results showed that the suggested cryptosystem is safe from statistical, brute force, and differential attacks. Compared to already known methods, the estimated times for encryption and decryption make it likely that the proposed scheme can be applied in real-time applications. 2022 2022 55 68 10.54216/JCIM.100104 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/2/show/1529
