This interface is implemented under MATLAB environment. The implementation of the image cryptography system uses the RSA algorithm with 64 bits private key length. The transfer of images in a secure way for medical diagnosis is insured by generating a watermarked key to encrypt the original image. More, we introduced a comparison study between the obtained performances and those computed with other algorithms such as DES and IDEA. %K RSA %K DES %K image processing %K Cryptography. %U http://ijcer.org/index.php/ojs/article/view/11
