Modified plaintext attacks in a session for an optical cryptosystem based on DRPE with PFS

Abstract

In this paper, the security of an optical cryptosystem based on double random phase encoding (DRPE) with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) is analyzed for a particular session. In the cryptosystem, the PFS strategy is utilized to enhance the security and key management of the traditional DRPE scheme. Our analysis reveals that the use of PFS has certain advantages in the key management approach, but the method is still vulnerable against modified plaintext attacks when the attack is performed in the same session. Also, it is noted that the method is safe against conventional plaintext attacks, but it is vulnerable to the modified chosen and known plaintext attacks. The original plaintext can be easily retrieved with the proposed attack algorithms. Numerical simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed attack algorithms.

Improved diffractive-imaging based image encryption scheme in 3D space

“…In DRPE-based schemes, holographic [7,8] or other quantitative phase imaging techniques [9] are needed to record the complex-valued wavefront, which make their optical architectures complex. However, DRPE and DRPE-based cryptosystems are linear, which make them vulnerable to known-plaintext attack (KPA) [10,11], chosen-plaintext attack (CPA) [12,13], chosen-ciphertext attack (CCA) [14] and ciphertext-only attack(COA) [15].…”

“…If the compromised data are illegally used, the consequences will be even unimaginable. Therefore, image encryption technology is favored by researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

A new chaotic jerk system with hidden heart-shaped attractor: dynamical analysis, multistability, connecting curves and its application in image encryption

“…Encryption is vital in many areas, such as social networks and health care, because of insecure networks for data transmission [37,42]. The encryption process usually converts a plain image to a noise-like image [43,44]. It is important that the attackers cannot obtain the plain image from the encrypted one.…”
