Abstract: This paper proposes a method for storing and securing medical images in DICOM format. Other methods offered affect the quality of the image. The solution proposed here is based on the AES256 algorithm in Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) which already integrates authentication and signature processes to ensure the integrity of the images manipulated. This solution is implemented by using the Phyton programming language under the DJANGO framework, libraries such as NUMPHY, PYDICOM, MYSQLCLIENT, and PYCRYPTODOME. The results obtained after experimental tests give us a good average encryption and decryption time. The difference in the mean value of time between encryption and decryption is quite small in view of the tests carried out. We obtain saving on storage space owing to the fact that the proposed solution directly stores the encrypted image. The manipulated image is not altered.
