title: Analysis of security problems in a medical image encryption system.
abstract: Recently, a new system for the secure transmission and efficient storage of medical images interleaved with patient information has been proposed in 2003 by Rajendra Acharya et al. In this paper, we analyse the security of this system, showing how to improve it to obtain a truly secure system.
