Cryptanalysis of an Image Scrambling Scheme without Bandwidth Expansion

Recently, a novel image scrambling (i.e., encryption) scheme without bandwidth expansion was proposed based on two-dimensional (2-D)discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSS). This paper gives a comprehensive cryptanalysis of the image scrambling scheme, and draw a conclusion that it is not sufficiently secure against various cryptographical attacks, including ciphertext-only attack, known/chosen-plaintext attack and chosen-ciphertext attack. The cryptanalytic results suggest that the image scrambling scheme can only be used to realize perceptual encryption, instead of provide content protection for digital images

Cryptanalysis of an Encryption Scheme Based on Blind Source Separation

Recently Lin et al. proposed a method of using the underdetermined BSS (blind source separation) problem to realize image and speech encryption. In this paper, we give a cryptanalysis of this BSS-based encryption and point out that it is not secure against known/chosen-plaintext attack and chosen-ciphertext attack. In addition, there exist some other security defects: low sensitivity to part of the key and the plaintext, a ciphertext-only differential attack, divide-and-conquer (DAC) attack on part of the key. We also discuss the role of BSS in Lin et al.'s efforts towards cryptographically secure ciphers.Comment: 8 pages, 10 figures, IEEE forma

Cryptanalysis of an image scrambling scheme without bandwidth expansion

Abstract — Recently, a new image scrambling (i.e., encryption) scheme without bandwidth expansion was proposed based on two-dimensional (2-D) discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSS). A comprehensive cryptanalysis is given here on this image scrambling scheme, showing that it is not sufficiently secure against various cryptographical attacks including ciphertextonly attack, known/chosen-plaintext attack and chosen-ciphertext attack. Detailed cryptanalytic results suggest that the image scrambling scheme can only be used to realize perceptual encryption, but not to provide content protection for digital images.
