This paper presents cryptanalysis of a color image encryption scheme. DNA encoding and multiple 1D chaotic maps are used in the encryption process which increases its computational speed. The key streams generated in this scheme are dependent on secret keys, updated using the sum of pixel intensities of plain image of size [Formula: see text]. This paper analyzes the security of encryption scheme against the chosen plaintext attack and finds that only [Formula: see text] different key matrices for diffusion are possible, an equivalent version of which can be revealed with [Formula: see text] chosen plain images. Experimental results are presented to prove that equivalent diffusion keys and block permutation sequence can be effectively revealed through the attack. In addition, low sensitivity of keys towards changes in plaintext along with insecure diffusion process involved in encryption process is also reported. Finally, to remedy the shortcomings of the original encryption scheme, an enhanced encryption scheme is generated that can resist chosen/known plaintext attack while maintaining the merits of the original encryption scheme.

This paper presents an improved cryptanalysis of a chaos-based image encryption scheme, which integrated permutation, diffusion, and linear transformation process. It was found that the equivalent key streams and all the unknown parameters of the cryptosystem can be recovered by our chosen-plaintext attack algorithm. Both a theoretical analysis and an experimental validation are given in detail. Based on the analysis of the defects in the original cryptosystem, an improved color image encryption scheme was further developed. By using an image content–related approach in generating diffusion arrays and the process of interweaving diffusion and confusion, the security of the cryptosystem was enhanced. The experimental results and security analysis demonstrate the security superiority of the improved cryptosystem.
