Cryptanalysis of an Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Random Walk and Hyperchaotic Systems

Recently, an image encryption algorithm based on random walk and hyperchaotic systems has been proposed. The main idea of the original paper is to scramble the plain image by means of random walk matrix and then to append diffusion. In this paper, the encryption method with security holes is analyze...

description Recently, an image encryption algorithm based on random walk and hyperchaotic systems has been proposed. The main idea of the original paper is to scramble the plain image by means of random walk matrix and then to append diffusion. In this paper, the encryption method with security holes is analyzed by chosen plaintext attack. In addition, this paper improves the original encryption algorithm. The experimental and simulation results show that the improved algorithm has the advantages of the original and can improve the ability to resist attack.
