Encryption of multimedia medical content using programmable cellular automata

The paper present an encryption system based on a combination of a one-dimensional hybrid cellular automaton (CA) and a programmable cellular automaton (PCA) used for securing of medical data sent over the internet. The experimental results are based on the powerful of cellular automata encryption systems, already validated in my previously works. The method supports both software and hardware implementation. The entire system (hardware, using FPGA devices and software, using C# and VHDL) is currently under development. In this paper is presented a fully functional software application for data encryption of multimedia medical content.
