Hiding information in an image in a way that does not affect the original cover image pixels or cause a permanent distortion after extracting that information is known as reversible data hiding technology. Many reversible data hiding schemes have been proposed and successfully applied in medical and military applications. Such schemes are developed to ensure digital images' authenticity and integrity without any distortion on the original images. They guarantee that any attempt to change the watermarked image will be detected by the image owner. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to reversibly hide data into encrypted grayscale medical images in a separable manner. The proposed algorithm hides two watermarks in a given encrypted image. The first watermark is embedded by replacing selected encrypted image pixels based on data hiding key, and the second watermark is embedded in the watermarked encrypted image using the histogram shifting reversible data hiding method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high embedding capacity, high visual image quality, and high entropy.
