【Abstract】In general, confidentiality is an important issue when transferring data in the medical field. Medical data hacking is a trending business followed by many hackers in the black market. To deal with such issues, cloud-based security solutions are being developed day by day. Design complexity is a big issue in all conventional methods, even in various technological facilities for security-related issues in the medical field. This paper combines elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and blockchain encryption to develop an efficient steganography technique for data hiding in the multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) channel. This hybrid encryption method is named reconfigurable area-power efficient steganography (RAPS) for MIMO-OFDM channel coding. Generally, the performance of ECC encryption is affected by the design complexity due to the use of several units. Mainly, the use of complex multiplier units creates a major problem in ECC design. Therefore, the Montgomery multiplier is used in the proposed work for ECC design because it provides faster multiplication with simpler operations. Also, the combination of blockchain technology with ECC provides additional security features like immutability, decentralization and elimination of third-party. This hybrid encryption technique uses Low-Density Parity Check for efficient data transmission between sender-receiver. The proposed RAPS technique with MIMO-OFDM design is implemented using MATLAB and Xilinx platform. The performance of the RAPS technique is compared with conventional encryption methods like Advanced Encryption Standard and ECC in terms of area utilization, operating frequency and power consumption.
