Cloud services offer doctors and data scientists access to medical data from multiple locations using different devices (laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones, etc.). Therefore, cyber threats to medical data at rest, in transit and when used by applications need to be pinpointed and prevented preemptively through a host of proven cryptographical solutions. The presented work integrates adaptive key generation, neural-based confusion and non-XOR, namely DNA diffusion, which offers a more extensive and unique key, adaptive confusion and unpredictable diffusion algorithm. Only authenticated users can store this encrypted image in cloud storage. The proposed security framework uses logistics, tent maps and adaptive key generation modules. The adaptive key is generated using a multilayer and nonlinear neural network from every input plain image. The Hopfield neural network (HNN) is a recurrent temporal network that updates learning with every plain image. We have taken Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Simple Storage Service (S3) to store encrypted images. Using benchmark evolution metrics, the ability of image encryption is validated against brute force and statistical attacks, and encryption quality analysis is also made. Thus, it is proved that the proposed scheme is well suited for hosting cloud storage for secure images.
